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. Objective-C

#import <CkoMime.h>
#import <CkoStringBuilder.h>
#import <NSString.h>

BOOL success = NO;

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

CkoMime *mime = [[CkoMime alloc] init];

// 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 == NO) {
    NSLog(@"%@",mime.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// The MIME file loaded in this example contains this:
