Sending CMS SignedData via http - which Content-Type??	steffi	03-22-2005

Hi all,

I want to create a request for a timestamp and send it to a Timestamp
Authority via http.
RFC 3161 says that the correct Content-Type is
application/timestamp-query, and the body of the http request contains
the ASN.1 DER-encoded Time-Stamp Request message. But this time-stamp
request does not identify the requester. Therefore I want to use CMS
encapsulation.

Ok, I create my timestamp query, sign it and put altogether into a CMS
SignedData object. But what Content-Type do I have to use now?

Thanks for help!

Steffi
