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

* Let's first prepare the email to be sent..
loEmail = CreateObject('Chilkat.Email')
loEmail.Charset = "utf-8"
loEmail.Subject = "Test email with PDF attachment."
loEmail.SetHtmlBody("<html><body><p>This is a test <b>HTML email with a PDF attachment</b></p></body></html>")

* The AddFileAttachment method returns the content-type selected based on the 
* file extension.   This example has no need of using the return value..
lcContentType = loEmail.AddFileAttachment("qa_data/pdf/fishing.pdf")
IF (loEmail.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loEmail.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loEmail
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Add the From header, and some recipients.
* The From address should be an email address verified for use
* as a sender for your Amazon SES account.
* The From address will also be the Source parameter for the SES SendRawEmail request.
loEmail.From = "Chilkat Software <admin@chilkatdownload.com>"

* Add recipients...
* Note: We DO NOT add BCC recipients to the email.  A BCC address should not be
* present in the MIME header of the email (otherwise it would not be "blind" because
* other recipients would be able to see it).
* These same addresses will be added as parameters to the SendRawEmail request.
* (BCC addresses are added as parameters at that time.)
loEmail.AddTo("Mr. Simulator","success@simulator.amazonses.com")
loEmail.AddCC("Chilkat Support","support@chilkatsoft.com")
loEmail.AddCC("Some Yahoo","somebody@yahoo.com")

* Get the MIME of the email to be sent.
lcMimeStr = loEmail.GetMime()

* We'll need the MIME base64 encoded for the SES REST request..
loCrypt = CreateObject('Chilkat.Crypt2')
lcMimeBase64 = loCrypt.EncodeString(lcMimeStr,"utf-8","base64")

* OK.. our MIME email is prepared.  Now use Chilkat REST to send it..

loRest = CreateObject('Chilkat.Rest')

* Connect to the Amazon AWS REST server.
* such as https://email.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/
lnBTls = 1
lnPort = 443
lnBAutoReconnect = 1
lnSuccess = loRest.Connect("email.us-west-2.amazonaws.com",lnPort,lnBTls,lnBAutoReconnect)

* Provide AWS credentials for the REST call.
loAuthAws = CreateObject('Chilkat.AuthAws')
loAuthAws.AccessKey = "AWS_ACCESS_KEY"
loAuthAws.SecretKey = "AWS_SECRET_KEY"
* the region should match our URL above..
loAuthAws.Region = "us-west-2"
loAuthAws.ServiceName = "ses"

loRest.SetAuthAws(loAuthAws)

loRest.AddQueryParam("Action","SendRawEmail")

loRest.AddQueryParam("RawMessage.Data",lcMimeBase64)

* Add up to 100 TO, CC, and BCC recipients.
* If your SES account is still in the sandbox, you also must verify every recipient email address except for the recipients 
* provided by the Amazon SES mailbox simulator. (See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/mailbox-simulator.html)
loRest.AddQueryParam("Destination.ToAddresses.member.1","success@simulator.amazonses.com")

* Because there may be a large amount of data in the query params, use a POST
* where the params are sent in the body of the HTTP Request.
lcResponseXml = loRest.FullRequestFormUrlEncoded("POST","/")
IF (loRest.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loRest.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loEmail
    RELEASE loCrypt
    RELEASE loRest

    CANCEL
ENDIF

* A successful response will have a status code equal to 200.
IF (loRest.ResponseStatusCode <> 200) THEN
    ? "response status code = " + STR(loRest.ResponseStatusCode)
    ? "response status text = " + loRest.ResponseStatusText
    ? "response header: " + loRest.ResponseHeader
    ? "response body: " + lcResponseXml
    RELEASE loEmail
    RELEASE loCrypt

ENDIF

* Examine the successful XML response.
loXml = CreateObject('Chilkat.Xml')
loXml.LoadXml(lcResponseXml)
? loXml.GetXml()

* To get the MessageId
? "MessageId: " + loXml.ChilkatPath("SendEmailResult|MessageId|*")

* A sample successful response:
* <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
* <SendEmailResponse xmlns="http://ses.amazonaws.com/doc/2010-12-01/">
*     <SendEmailResult>
*         <MessageId>010101579081d2c1-043c693f-5a23-4c64-a8c1-66187d3725a0-000000</MessageId>
