Load MIME from a String

Demonstrates the Chilkat Mime.LoadMime method, which parses complete MIME text and replaces the current object's headers, body, and multipart tree. The only argument is the MIME string.

Background: MIME is the structure behind email messages and many other content containers — a set of headers, a blank line, then a body that may itself be a tree of nested parts. Loading parses that text into an object you can then inspect and modify part by part. A successful load fully replaces whatever the object held before, and Chilkat is tolerant of common real-world formatting quirks. When the content may contain raw 8-bit or NUL bytes, prefer LoadMimeBd so nothing is forced through a text string.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

JavaScript

var success = false;

//  Demonstrates the Mime.LoadMime method, which parses complete MIME text and replaces the current
//  object's headers, body, and multipart tree.  The only argument is the MIME string.

var mime = new CkMime();

//  The complete MIME text (headers, a blank line, then the body).
var mimeText = "Content-Type: text/plain\r\n\r\nThis is the body.\r\n";

success = mime.LoadMime(mimeText);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(mime.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

console.log("Content-Type: " + mime.ContentType);
