require 'chilkat'

success = false

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

mime = Chilkat::CkMime.new()

# Build a simple MIME message to be encrypted:
success = mime.AddHeaderField("Content-Type","text/plain")
success = mime.AddHeaderField("abc","123")
mime.SetBody("This is a test")

# A digital certificate is required to create PKCS7 encrypted MIME.
# It can come from a variety of sources: .cer file, .pfx file, PEM files,
# an in-memory representation, or directly from a Windows
# registry-based certificate store.

# This example will load a certificate object from a .cer file.
# Note: Only the public-key is required to encrypt.  (Decryption
# requires a private key.)

cert = Chilkat::CkCert.new()
success = cert.LoadFromFile("myCert.cer")
if (success == false)
    print cert.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# Encrypt the MIME:
success = mime.Encrypt(cert)
if (success == false)
    print mime.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# Display the MIME:
print mime.getMime() + "\n";

# The resulting S/MIME looks something like this:

# abc: 123
# Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="smime.p7m"
# Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
# Content-Type: application/x-pkcs7-mime;
#  name="smime.p7m"
