MIME CurrentDateTime Property

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.

Background. Internet message dates follow the RFC 5322 format, for example Fri, 21 Nov 1997 09:55:06 -0600. CurrentDateTime produces a value in that form for use in message headers.

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;

var mime = new CkMime();
success = mime.SetBodyFromPlainText("Message with a Date header.");
if (success == false) {
    console.log(mime.LastErrorText);
    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
var now = mime.CurrentDateTime;
console.log("Current date/time: " + now);

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

var head = mime.GetEntireHead();
if (mime.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    console.log(mime.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

console.log(head);
