dotnet web services enhancements : MTOM data size

Hi,
When I turned MTOM on, I can see MIME boundaries in the SOAP messages, so it
must be working. But when I compare the Input/Output trace files with or
without MTOM, the file sizes are the same. I expected 30% reduction in size
with MTOM.
What am I missing? Is it got to do with encoding of trace files?

Thank you for your help,

Oops, one more question:
Why should one use DIME attachments with WSE2.0 at all? Couldn't you just
send binary data "as usual", like as one-long-parameter of webmethod ?

Thank you for a wonderful article.
I still have the question why are Input/OutputTrace.webinfo the same sizes
with or without MTOM?

Thanks in advance,
Grega

Greg,

there no silly questions you know.

Here is one shameless plug:

Read my article on VSM - Implement a File Transfer Web Service
http://www.ftponline.com/vsm/2006_05/magazine/columns/gettingstarted/

Let me know if you have more questions.

Thanks,

May be your test data is too small and MTOM is never fired up. For small
chunks of data WSE uses base64 encoding.
Can you provide some input/outputtrace.webinfo files?

Thanks,
