Package Exports

http-message-parser

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (http-message-parser) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

  },
  body: <Buffer>, // "This is a message with multiple parts in MIME format."
  boundary: 'frontier',
  multipart: [
    {
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'text/plain'
      },
      body: <Buffer> // "This is the body of the message."
    },
    {
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/octet-stream'
        'Content-Transfer-Encoding': 'base64'
      },
      body: <Buffer> // "PGh0bWw+CiAgPGhlYWQ+CiAgPC9oZWFkPgogIDxib2R5Pgog..."
    }
  ]
}

Docs

The function takes in a text string or Buffer.

The result message body and multipart bodies will always return back as a Buffer in order to retain it's original encoding, for example when parsing binary audio data you don't want the data to be stringified.
