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

* We're going to create an email that contains an .zip attachment,
* and also both plain-text and HTML alternative bodies.
* The HTML body will include an image.

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Email')
loEmail = CreateObject('Chilkat.Email')

* Adding attachments, HTML/plain-text bodies, etc can be done
* in any order:

* Add an attachment
lcContentType = loEmail.AddFileAttachment("qa_data/hamlet.zip")
IF (loEmail.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loEmail.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loEmail
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Add some headers:
loEmail.Subject = "This is a complex email"
* Please change this email address before testing.
lnSuccess = loEmail.AddTo("Joe Example","joe@example.com")
loEmail.From = "Your Name <mailgun@YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME>"

* Add a plain-text body:
loEmail.AddPlainTextAlternativeBody("This is the plain-text body")

* Add an image that will be embedded in the HTML body.
lnSuccess = loEmail.AddRelatedFile2("qa_data/jpg/starfish.jpg","starfish.jpg")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loEmail.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loEmail
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Add an HTML body:

lcHtml = '<html><body><b>This is the HTML body</b><br><img src="starfish.jpg"></body></html>'

loEmail.AddHtmlAlternativeBody(lcHtml)

* ------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Send the above email using Mailgun

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Http')
loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')

* Implements the following CURL command:

loHttp.Login = "api"
loHttp.Password = "sending_api_key"*  Replace with your actual sending API key.

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.HttpRequest')
loReq = CreateObject('Chilkat.HttpRequest')
loReq.HttpVerb = "POST"
loReq.Path = "/v3/YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME/messages.mime"
loReq.ContentType = "multipart/form-data"

loReq.AddParam("from","Your Name <mailgun@YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME>")
loReq.AddParam("to","Joe Example <joe@example.com>")
loReq.AddStringForUpload2("message","message.eml",loEmail.GetMime(),"utf-8","application/octet-stream")

loResp = loHttp.SynchronousRequest("api.mailgun.net",443,1,loReq)
IF (loHttp.LastMethodSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loEmail
    RELEASE loHttp
    RELEASE loReq
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.StringBuilder')
loSbResponseBody = CreateObject('Chilkat.StringBuilder')
loResp.GetBodySb(loSbResponseBody)
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.JsonObject')
loJResp = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loJResp.LoadSb(loSbResponseBody)
loJResp.EmitCompact = 0

? loJResp.Emit()

    ? loResp.Header
    ? "Failed."
