4. Structure of an AS3 message
4.1 Introduction
The basic structure of AS3 messages comprises MIME encapsulated data
with both customary MIME headers and a few additional AS3-specific
outer
headers. The structures below are described hierarchically in terms
of
which RFCs have been applied to form the specific structure. The
reader
is referred directly to the referenced RFCs for implementation
details.
Any additional restrictions imposed by this AS are specifically
discussed
in the sections which follow.
