Extract Files from Binary SOAP MTOM MIME

See more MIME Examples

This example demonstrates how to extract files from a binary SOAP MTOM MIME document. C++

#include <CkMime.h>
#include <CkStringBuilder.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    CkMime 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 == false) {
        std::cout << mime.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }
