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.

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

    let mime = CkoMime()!
    success = mime.setBody(fromPlainText: "Message with a Date header.")
    if success == false {
        print("\(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: String? = mime.currentDateTime
    print("Current date/time: \(now!)")

    //  It can be used to populate a Date header field.
    mime.setHeaderField(name: "Date", value: now)

    var head: String? = mime.getEntireHead()
    if mime.lastMethodSuccess == false {
        print("\(mime.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    print("\(head!)")
