MIME Encapsulation of Macintosh files - MacMIME
Status of this Memo
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
Abstract
This memo describes the format to use when sending Apple Macintosh
files via MIME [BORE93]. The format is compatible with existing
mechanisms for distributing Macintosh files, while allowing non-
Macintosh systems access to data in standardized formats.
2. Introduction
Files on the Macintosh consists of two parts, called forks:
Data fork: The actual data included in the file. The Data
fork is typically the only meaningful part of a
Macintosh file on a non-Macintosh computer system.
For example, if a Macintosh user wants to send a
file of data to a user on an IBM-PC, she would only
send the Data fork.
Resource fork: Contains a collection of arbitrary attribute/value
pairs, including program segments, icon bitmaps,
and parametric values.
Additional information regarding Macintosh files is stored by the
Finder in a hidden file, called the "Desktop Database".
Because of the complications in storing different parts of a
Macintosh file in a non-Macintosh filesystem that only handles
consecutive data in one part, it is common to convert the Macintosh
file into some other format before transferring it over the network.
Faltstrom, Crocker & Fair [Page 1]
RFC 1740 MIME-based Mac files December 1994
The two styles of use are [APPL90]:
AppleSingle: Apple's standard format for encoding Macintosh files
as one byte stream.
AppleDouble: Similar to AppleSingle except that the Data fork is
separated from the Macintosh-specific parts by the
AppleDouble encoding.
AppleDouble is the preferred format for a Macintosh file that is to
be included in an Internet mail message, because it provides
recipients with Macintosh computers the entire document, including
Icons and other Macintosh specific information, while other users
easily can extract the Data fork (the actual data) as it is separated
from the AppleDouble encoding.
2. MIME format for Apple/Macintosh-specific file information
2a. APPLICATION/APPLEFILE
MIME type-name: APPLICATION
MIME subtype name: APPLEFILE
Required parameters: none
Optional parameters: NAME, which must be a "value" as
defined in RFC-1521 [BORE93].
Encoding considerations: The presence of binary data will
typically require use of
Content-Transfer-Encoding: BASE64
Security considerations: See separate section in the document
Published specification: Apple-single & Apple-double [APPL90]
Rationale: Permits MIME-based transmission of
data with Apple/Macintosh specific
information, while allowing general
access to non-specific user data.
2b. MULTIPART/APPLEDOUBLE
MIME type-name: MULTIPART
MIME subtype name: APPLEDOUBLE
Required parameters: none
Optional parameters: NAME, which must be a "value" as
defined in RFC-1521 [BORE93].
Encoding considerations: none
Security considerations: See separate section in the document
Published specification: Apple-single & Apple-double [APPL90]
Rationale: Permits MIME-based transmission of
data with Apple/Macintosh specific
information, while allowing general
access to non-specific user data.

2c. Detail specific to MIME-based usage
Macintosh documents do not always need to be sent in a special
format. Those documents with well-known MIME types and
non-existent or trivial resource forks can be sent as regular
MIME body parts, without use of AppleSingle or AppleDouble.
Documents which lack a data fork must be sent as AppleSingle.
Unless there are strong reasons not to, all other documents
should normally be sent as AppleDouble. This includes documents
with non-trivial resource forks, and documents without
corresponding well-known MIME types.
It may be valuable in some cases to allow the user to choose one
format over another, either because he disagrees with the
implementor's definition of "trivial" resource forks, or for
reasons of his own.
3. AppleSingle
An AppleSingle, version 2 file, is sent as one consecutive stream of
bytes. The format is described in [APPL90] with a brief summary in
Appendix A. The one and only part of the file is sent in an
application/applefile message.
The first four bytes of an AppleSingle header are, in hexadecimal:
00, 05, 16, 00.
The AppleSingle file is binary data. Hence, it may be necessary to
perform a Content-Transfer-Encoding for transmission, depending on
the underlying email transport environment. The safest encoding is
Base64, since it permits transfer over the most restricted channels.
Even though an AppleSingle file includes the original Macintosh
filename, it is recommended that a name parameter be included on the
Content-Type header to give the recipient a hint as to what file is
attached. The value of the name parameter must be a "value" as
defined by RFC-1521 [BORE93]. Note that this restricts the value to
seven-bit US-ASCII characters.
3a. AppleSingle example
Content-Type: application/applefile; name="Computers-1/2-93"
[The AppleSingle file goes here]
4. AppleDouble
Faltstrom, Crocker & Fair [Page 3]
RFC 1740 MIME-based Mac files December 1994
An AppleDouble, version 2, file is divided in two parts:
Header: including the Macintosh resource fork and desktop
information and
Data fork: containing the Macintosh data fork.
The AppleDouble format is described in [APPL90] with a brief summary
in Appendix B.
The AppleDouble file itself is sent as a multipart/appledouble MIME
body-part, which may have only two sub-parts. The header is sent as
application/applefile and the data fork as whatever best describes
it. For example, is the data for is actually a GIF image, it should
be sent as image/gif. If no appropriate Content-Type has been
registered for the data type, it should be sent as an
application/octet-stream.
The first four bytes of an AppleDouble header are, in hexadecimal:
00, 05, 16, 07.
The AppleDouble header is binary data. Hence, it may be necessary to
perform a Content-Transfer-Encoding for transmission, depending on
the underlying email transport environment. The safest encoding is
Base64, since it permits transfer over the most restrictive channels.
Even though an AppleDouble file includes the original Macintosh
filename, it is recommended that a name parameter be included on the
Content-Type header of both the header and data parts of the
AppleDouble file to give the recipient a hint as to what file is
attached. The value of the name parameter must be a "value" as
defined by RFC-1521 [BORE93]. Note that this restricts the value to
seven-bit US-ASCII characters.
4a. AppleDouble example
Content-Type: multipart/appledouble; boundary=mac-part
--mac-part
Content-Type: application/applefile; name="My-new-car"
[The AppleDouble header goes here]
--mac-part
Content-Type: image/gif;
[The data fork goes here]
--mac-part--

6. Security Considerations
To the extent that application/applefile facilitates the transmission
of operating-system sensitive data, it may open a door for easier
relaxation of security rules than is intended either by the sender of
the administrator of the sender's system.

RFC 1740 MIME-based Mac files December 1994
Appendix A. The AppleSingle format
In the AppleSingle format, a file's contents and attributes are
stored in a single file in the foreign file system. For example,
both forks of a Macintosh file, the Finder information, and an
associated comment are arranged in a single file with a simple
structure.
An AppleSingle file consists of a header followed by one or more data
entries. The header consists of several fixed fields and a list of
entry descriptors, each pointing to a data entry. Each entry is
optional and may or may not appear in the file.
AppleSingle file header:
Field Length
Magic number 4 bytes
Version number 4 bytes
Filler 16 bytes
Number of entries 2 bytes
Entry descriptor for each entry:
Entry ID 4 bytes
Offset 4 bytes
Length 4 bytes
Byte ordering in the file fields follows MC68000 conventions, most
significant byte first. The fields in the header file follow the
conventions described in the following sections.
Magic number
This field, modelled after the UNIX magic number feature,
specifies the file's format. Apple has defined the magic number
for the AppleSingle format as $00051600 or 0x00051600.
Version number
This field denotes the version of AppleSingle format in the event
the format evolves (more fields may be added to the header). The
version described in this note is version $00020000 or
0x00020000.
Filler
This field is all zeros ($00 or 0x00).
Number of entries
This field specifies how many different entries are included in
Faltstrom, Crocker & Fair [Page 7]
RFC 1740 MIME-based Mac files December 1994
the file. It is an unsigned 16-bit number. If the number of
entries is any number other than 0, then that number of entry
descriptors immediately follows the number of entries field.
Entry descriptors
The entry descriptor is made up of the following three fields:
Entry ID: an unsigned 32-bit number, defines what the entry is.
Entry IDs range from 1 to $FFFFFFFF. Entry ID 0 is
invalid.
Offset: an unsigned 32-bit number, shows the offset from the
beginning of the file to the beginning of the entry's
data.
Length: an unsigned 32-bit number, shows the length of the
data in bytes. The length can be 0.
Predefined entry ID's
Apple has defined a set of entry IDs and their values as follows:
Data Fork 1 Data fork
Resource Fork 2 Resource fork
Real Name 3 File's name as created on home file
system
Comment 4 Standard Macintosh comment
Icon, B&W 5 Standard Macintosh black and white icon
Icon, Colour 6 Macintosh colour icon
File Dates Info 8 File creation date, modification date,
and so on
Finder Info 9 Standard Macintosh Finder information
Macintosh File Info 10 Macintosh file information, attributes
and so on
ProDOS File Info 11 ProDOS file information, attributes and
so on
MS-DOS File Info 12 MS-DOS file information, attributes and
so on
Short Name 13 AFP short name
AFP File Info 14 AFP file, information, attributes and so
on
Directory ID 15 AFP directory ID
Apple reserves the range of entry IDs from 1 to $7FFFFFFF. The
rest of the range is available for applications to define their
own entries. Apple does not arbitrate the use of the rest of the
range.
Appendix B. The AppleDouble format
Faltstrom, Crocker & Fair [Page 8]
RFC 1740 MIME-based Mac files December 1994
The AppleDouble format uses two files to store data, resources and
attributes. The AppleDouble Data file contains the data fork and the
AppleDouble Header file contains the resource fork.
The AppleDouble Data file contains the standard Macintosh data fork
with no additional header. The AppleDouble Header file has exactly
the same format as the AppleSingle file, except that it does not
contain a Data fork entry. The magic number in the AppleDouble
Header file differs from the magic number in the AppleSingle Header
file so that an application can tell whether it needs to look in
another file for the data fork. The magic number for the AppleDouble
format is $00051607 or 0x00051607.
The entries in the AppleDouble Header file can appear in any order;
however, since the resource fork is the entry that is most commonly
extended (after the data fork), Apple recommends that the resource
fork entry to be placed last in the file. The data fork is easily
extended because it resides by itself in the AppleDouble Data file.
Appendix C. applefile.h
This is an example of a header file for the language C which can be
used when parsing the data in either an AppleSingle file or
AppleDouble header.
The file is written by Lee Jones. Distribution is unlimited.
