Download Chilkat Ruby Library

require 'chilkat'

mime = Chilkat::CkMime.new()

success = mime.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial")
if (success == false)
    print "Failed to unlock component" + "\n"
    exit
end

#  Create MIME with base64 encoding:
mime.SetBodyFromPlainText("This is a test")
mime.put_Charset("windows-1252")
mime.put_Encoding("base64")

mimeStr1 = mime.getMime()

print mimeStr1 + "\n";
print "-------------------------------" + "\n";

#  Output looks like this:
#  Content-Type: text/plain;
#           charset="windows-1252"
#  content-transfer-encoding: base64

#  Load the MIME into another Chilkat MIME object:
mime2 = Chilkat::CkMime.new()
mime2.LoadMime(mimeStr1)

#  Get the MIME body decoded:
decodedBody = mime2.getBodyDecoded()

#  Prints: this is a test
print decodedBody + "\n";
