Enum EContentTransferEncoding

java.lang.Object
java.lang.Enum<EContentTransferEncoding>
com.helger.mail.cte.EContentTransferEncoding
All Implemented Interfaces:
com.helger.commons.id.IHasID<String>, IContentTransferEncoding, Serializable, Comparable<EContentTransferEncoding>, java.lang.constant.Constable

public enum EContentTransferEncoding extends Enum<EContentTransferEncoding> implements IContentTransferEncoding
Predefined Content Transfer Encoding types as per https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2045.txt section 6.1.
Of course additional transfer encodings can be used.

Three transformations are currently defined: identity, the "quoted- printable" encoding, and the "base64" encoding. The domains are "binary", "8bit" and "7bit".

The Content-Transfer-Encoding values "7bit", "8bit", and "binary" all mean that the identity (i.e. NO) encoding transformation has been performed. As such, they serve simply as indicators of the domain of the body data, and provide useful information about the sort of encoding that might be needed for transmission in a given transport system.

  • Enum Constant Details

    • _7BIT

      public static final EContentTransferEncoding _7BIT
      "7bit data" refers to data that is all represented as relatively short lines with 998 octets or less between CRLF line separation sequences [RFC-821]. No octets with decimal values greater than 127 are allowed and neither are NULs (octets with decimal value 0). CR (decimal value 13) and LF (decimal value 10) octets only occur as part of CRLF line separation sequences.
    • _8BIT

      public static final EContentTransferEncoding _8BIT
      "8bit data" refers to data that is all represented as relatively short lines with 998 octets or less between CRLF line separation sequences [RFC-821]), but octets with decimal values greater than 127 may be used. As with "7bit data" CR and LF octets only occur as part of CRLF line separation sequences and no NULs are allowed.
    • BINARY

      public static final EContentTransferEncoding BINARY
      "Binary data" refers to data where any sequence of octets whatsoever is allowed.
    • QUOTED_PRINTABLE

      public static final EContentTransferEncoding QUOTED_PRINTABLE
    • BASE64

      public static final EContentTransferEncoding BASE64
