Subject: Proposed Media Type: application/vnd.Meridian-Slingshot
Content-Length: 1843
Status: RO
X-Lines: 47
Hi.. this application has been in circulation on ietf-types@uninett.no for
two weeks. No adverse comments were received, so I'd like to submit
this for addition to the formal list of MIME types.
Thanks, Eric Wedel
==================================================================
Subject: Registration of new Media Type application/vnd.Meridian-Slingshot
Media Type name: application
Media subtype name: vnd.Meridian-Slingshot
Required parameters: none
Optional parameters: none
Encoding considerations:
Slingshot content may include 8-bit binary data and so
requires a binary-safe connection or encoding.
Security considerations:
This MIME type is intended for use in triggering the launch
of applications on a user workstation. This is done in
conjunction with a pre-installed Slingshot client program.
The Slingshot MIME type does not contain any executable content,
nor does it directly specify the application to be launched.
Instead, it names a server which the Slingshot client must
contact to obtain application launch parameters.
The Slingshot client may be configured to accept only those
requests which name particular servers.
Published specification:
The Slingshot MIME content specifications are proprietary to
Meridian Data, Inc. This MIME type is being registered to
identify its use within the HTTP environment. This registration
is not intended to specify either the content format or details
of its usage.
Person & email address to contact for further information:
