    let mime = CkoMime()!

    // In this example, we have a MIME file containing 8bit (non-encoded) binary data,
    // and it is what I call "headless".  MIME is headless when it omits
    // the top-level header.  The file we have here begins with the first
    // boundary string.

    // The structure the MIME to be loaded is:

    // multipart/mixed (inferred because it is headless)
    //     application/xop+xml
    //     image/jpeg
    //     image/gif
    //     image/gif
    // 

    success = mime.loadFile(path: "qa_data/mime/headless_binary_soap_mtom_mime.mim")
    if success == false {
        print("\(mime.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // The MIME file loaded in this example contains this:
