Direct Internet Message Encapsulation (DIME) is an old Microsoft specification for sending and receiving SOAP messages along with additional attachments, like binary files, XML fragments, and even other SOAP messages, using standard transport protocols like HTTP.
Sample file: curl -LO https://github.com/kaitai-io/kaitai_struct_formats/files/5894723/scanner_withoptions.dump.gz && gunzip scanner_withoptions.dump.gz
This page hosts a formal specification of DIME (Direct Internet Message Encapsulation) Message using Kaitai Struct. This specification can be automatically translated into a variety of programming languages to get a parsing library.
All parsing code for C++98/STL generated by Kaitai Struct depends on the C++/STL runtime library. You have to install it before you can parse data.
For C++, the easiest way is to clone the runtime library sources and build them along with your project.
Using Kaitai Struct in C++/STL usually consists of 3 steps.
std::istream). One can open local file for that, or use existing std::string or char* buffer.
#include <fstream>
std::ifstream is("path/to/local/file.dim", std::ifstream::binary);
#include <sstream>
std::istringstream is(str);
#include <sstream>
const char buf[] = { ... };
std::string str(buf, sizeof buf);
std::istringstream is(str);
#include "kaitai/kaitaistream.h"
kaitai::kstream ks(&is);
dime_message_t data(&ks);
After that, one can get various attributes from the structure by invoking getter methods like:
data.records() // => get records
#ifndef DIME_MESSAGE_H_
#define DIME_MESSAGE_H_
// This is a generated file! Please edit source .ksy file and use kaitai-struct-compiler to rebuild
#include "kaitai/kaitaistruct.h"
#include <stdint.h>
#include <vector>
#if KAITAI_STRUCT_VERSION < 9000L
#error "Incompatible Kaitai Struct C++/STL API: version 0.9 or later is required"
