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.

require 'chilkat'

success = false

mime = Chilkat::CkMime.new()
success = mime.SetBodyFromPlainText("Message with a Date header.")
if (success == false)
    print mime.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

#  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
now = mime.currentDateTime()
print "Current date/time: " + now + "\n";

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

head = mime.getEntireHead()
if (mime.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false)
    print mime.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

print head + "\n";
