Direct Internet Message Encapsulation (DIME) was a Microsoft-proposed internet standard for the transfer of binary and other encapsulated data over the Internet.

According to the IETF web site, the standard has been withdrawn and never made RFC status. However, Microsoft did at one time recommend DIME for transmitting files via Web services. It was also used in J2EE, but differences in the implementation of the protocol made it difficult[citation needed]

The first version was submitted to the IETF in November 2001; the last update was submitted in June 2002. By December 2003, DIME had lost out, in competition with Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism and SOAP with Attachments,[1]. Microsoft now describes DIME as "superseded by the SOAP Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism (MTOM) specification"[2]

The standard was supposed to be a simplified version of MIME (see [1]).
