'  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

set mime = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.Mime")

'  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.LoadMimeFile("qa_data/mime/headless_binary_soap_mtom_mime.mim")
If (success = 0) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( mime.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If
