// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

loMime = createobject("CkMime")

// 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
// 

llSuccess = loMime.LoadMimeFile("qa_data/mime/headless_binary_soap_mtom_mime.mim")
if (llSuccess <> .T.) then
    ? loMime.LastErrorText
    release loMime
