Abstract
A method, system, and computer-readable code for receiving and demultiplexing multi-modal document content. A demultiplexing component receives HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) or WSP (Wireless Service Protocol) response messages containing multipart documents from a document server. Each content type of the multipart document is located by this component and used to locate an appropriate content renderer. A content registry, which stores mappings between content types and renderers capable of processing that content type, may be consulted to locate an appropriate renderer. Or, a dynamic query message may be issued on a network to detect any available renderers. The document content corresponding to the content type is then distributed to the located renderer, which renders it to the user.
