//=============================================================================
//+ Name DwMediaType -- Class representing a MIME media-type
//+ Description
//. {\tt DwMediaType} represents a field body for the Content-Type header
//. field as described in RFC-2045. This field body specifies the kind of
//. data contained in the body of a message or a body part.  A media type
//. is described by two keywords: a primary type (or just {\it type}) and
//. a {\it subtype}.  RFC-2046 specifies the seven primary types text,
//. multipart, message, image, audio, video, and application.  RFC-2077
//. adds the new primary type model.
//.
//. {\tt DwMediaType} has member functions that allow you to set or get
//. the type and subtype as either enumerated values or as strings.  It
//. also contains a list of {\tt DwParameter} objects that represent the
//. parameters of the field body.  You can use convenience functions to
//. directly access the boundary parameter of a multipart media type, or
//. to access the name parameter that is often used with several media
//. types, such as application/octet-stream.
//.
//. Some MIME parsers have problems with folded header fields, and this
//. especially seems to be a problem with the Content-Type field.
//. To disable folding when the {\tt DwMediaType} object is assembled,
//. call the inherited member function {\tt DwFieldBody::SetFolding()}
//. with an argument of {\tt DwFalse}.

    virtual void Assemble();

    //. It should be called whenever one of the object's attributes
    //. is changed in order to assemble the string representation from
    //. its broken-down representation.  It will be called
    //. automatically for this object by the parent object's
    //. {\tt Assemble()} member function if the is-modified flag is set.
    //.
    //. This function clears the is-modified flag.

    virtual DwMessageComponent* Clone() const;
    //. This virtual function, inherited from {\tt DwMessageComponent},
    //. creates a new {\tt DwMediaType} object on the free store that
    //. has the same value as this {\tt DwMediaType} object.  The basic
    //. idea is that of a virtual copy constructor.

    //. Returns the primary type as an enumerated value.  Enumerated values
    //. are defined for all standard types in the file enum.h.  If the type
    //. is non-standard, {\tt DwMime::kTypeUnknown} is returned.  The member
    //. function {\tt TypeStr()} may be used to get the value of any type,
    //. standard or non-standard, as a string.

    void SetType(int aType);
    //. Sets the primary type from the enumerated value {\tt aType}.
    //. Enumerated values are defined for all standard types in the file
    //. enum.h.  The member function {\tt SetTypeStr()} may be used to
    //. set the value of any type, standard or non-standard, from a string.

    //. Returns the subtype as an enumerated value.  Enumerated values
    //. are defined for all standard subtypes in the file enum.h.  If
    //. the subtype is non-standard, {\tt DwMime::kSubtypeUnknown} is
    //. returned.  The member function {\tt SubtypeStr()} may be used
    //. to get the value of any subtype, standard or non-standard, as
    //. a string.

    void SetSubtype(int aSubtype);
    //. Sets the subtype from the enumerated value {\tt aSubtype}.
    //. Enumerated values are defined for all standard subtypes in the
    //. file enum.h.  The member function {\tt SetSubtypeStr()} may be
    //. used to set the value of any subtype, standard or non-standard,
    //. from a string.

    //. that searches the list of {\tt DwParameter} objects.

    //. indicates the level of a nested multipart body part; if it is
    //. positive, it is used to form part of the created boundary string.
    //. This member function is a convenience function that accesses the
    //. list of child {\tt DwParameter} objects.

    const DwString& Name() const;
    //. Returns the value of the "name" parameter, if such a parameter
    //. is present.  The name parameter is often found in several media
    //. types, including the application/octet-stream media type; it
    //. suggests a file name for saving to a disk file.  (The filename
    //. parameter in the Content-Disposition header field is an alternative
    //. way to indicate a file name.)  This member function is a convenience
    //. function that searches the list of {\tt DwParameter} objects.

    void SetName(const DwString& aStr);
    //. Sets the value of the "name" parameter.  If a name parameter is
    //. not already present, it is added.  The name parameter is often
    //. found in several media types, including the application/octet-stream
    //. media type; it suggests a file name for saving to a disk file.

    //. is an alternative way to indicate a file name.)  This member
    //. function is a convenience function that accesses the list of
