Lua

Create MIME Containing Plain-Text

See more MIME Examples

Calls SetBodyFromPlainText to load plain-text into the MIME body. Also sets the Content-Type header to "text/plain", and the Content-Transfer-Encoding to an appropriate transfer encoding based on the characters found in the text. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

-- This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
-- See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

local mime = chilkat.Mime.new()

-- Add a few header fields:
local success = mime:add_header_field("Description", "this is a test")
success = mime:add_header_field("MyId", "123")

local textBody = "This is the plain-text body"

success = mime:set_body_from_plain_text(textBody)

print(mime:get_mime())

-- The MIME should look like this:

-- Description: this is a test
-- MyId: 123
-- Content-Type: text/plain;
-- Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
--
-- This is the plain-text body

-- Note: The Content-Transfer-Encoding may be changed.
-- For example, to use "base64", do this:
mime.encoding = "base64"

-- Show the MIME again, this time using the base64
-- transfer encoding:
print(mime:get_mime())

-- It should look like this:

-- Description: this is a test
-- MyId: 123
-- Content-Type: text/plain
-- Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
