(Perl) Create MIME Containing HTML

Calls SetBodyFromHtml to load HTML into the MIME body. Also sets the Content-Type header to "text/html", and the Content-Transfer-Encoding to an appropriate transfer encoding based on the characters found in the HTML.

# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$mime = chilkat::CkMime->new();

# Add a few header fields:
$success = $mime->AddHeaderField("Description","this is a test");
$success = $mime->AddHeaderField("MyId","123");

$htmlDoc = "<html><body>Test</body></html>";

# Set the MIME body via SetBodyFromHtml.  This also
# has the intended side-effect of adding the Content-Type
# and Content-Transfer-Encoding headers.
$success = $mime->SetBodyFromHtml($htmlDoc);

print $mime->getMime() . "\r\n";

# The MIME should look like this:

# Description: this is a test
# MyId: 123
# Content-Type: text/html; 
# Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
# 
# <html><body>Test</body></html>

# Note: The Content-Transfer-Encoding may be changed.
# For example, to use "base64", do this:
$mime->put_Encoding("base64");

# Show the MIME again, this time using the base64 
# transfer encoding:
print $mime->getMime() . "\r\n";

# It should look like this:

# Description: this is a test
# MyId: 123
# Content-Type: text/html; 
# Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
