Create MIME Containing XML

See more MIME Examples

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

    // has the intended side-effect of adding the Content-Type
    // and Content-Transfer-Encoding headers.
    success = CkMime_SetBodyFromXml(mime,xmlData);

    printf("%s\n",CkMime_getMime(mime));

    // The MIME should look like this:

    // Description: this is a test
    // MyId: 123
    // Content-Type: text/xml; 
    // Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
    // 
    // <something>123</something>

    // Note: The Content-Transfer-Encoding may be changed.
    // For example, to use "base64", do this:
    CkMime_putEncoding(mime,"base64");

    // Show the MIME again, this time using the base64 
    // transfer encoding:
    printf("%s\n",CkMime_getMime(mime));

    // It should look like this:

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