MIME CurrentDateTime Property

See more MIME Examples

Demonstrates the read-only CurrentDateTime property, which returns the current local date and time formatted as an Internet message date including the numeric UTC offset. The example uses it to populate a Date header field.

#include <CkMime.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    CkMime mime;
    success = mime.SetBodyFromPlainText("Message with a Date header.");
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << mime.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    //  CurrentDateTime returns the current local date and time formatted as an Internet message date,
    //  including the numeric UTC offset, for example: Fri, 21 Nov 1997 09:55:06 -0600
    const char *now = mime.currentDateTime();
    std::cout << "Current date/time: " << now << "\r\n";

    //  It can be used to populate a Date header field.
    mime.SetHeaderField("Date",now);

    const char *head = mime.getEntireHead();
    if (mime.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false) {
        std::cout << mime.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    std::cout << head << "\r\n";
    }
