The main idea of the AS2 protocol defined in the RFC 4130 is how we can exchange structured business data securely using the HTTP transfer protocol. In part one of this AS2 article series, we looked at an overview of the AS2 (Applicability Statement 2) protocol and why it wins over the other B2B protocols. We, the developers of the B2B integration platform AS2Gateway, have been working with AS2 protocol for quite some time now, and today, in this article, we hope to give some insight on how an AS2 message is composed using S/MIME format with a few lines of Java code.
Without further ado, let’s jump right in. The basic structure of an AS2 message consists of a MIME format inside an HTTP message with a few additional specific AS2 headers. The final structure of the composed AS2 message will be as follows. In this article, we’ll go in a step-by-step manner to create the final encrypted HTTP body starting from a document. https://goo.gl/afzbFf #DataIntegration #ML
