(Swift 3,4,5...) Get the Value of a MIME Header Field

Demonstrates how to get the value of a MIME header field. If the header field is not in the top-level MIME header, we must first navigate to the correct MIME part.

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

    let mime = CkoMime()!

    // The contents of this MIME file are shown below, 
    // and is also available at https://www.chilkatsoft.com/sampleMime.txt
    var success: Bool = mime.loadFile("qa_data/mime/sampleMime.txt")
    if success != true {
        print("\(mime.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // The MIME used in this example has the following nested structure
    // 
    // multipart/alternative
    //     text/plain
    //     multipart/related
    //         text/html
    //         image/jpeg
    // 

    // Getting the content of a top-level MIME header is easy.
    // MIME header fields are case insensitive.
    print("Subject = \(mime.getHeaderField("subject")!)")
    print("MIME-Version = \(mime.getHeaderField("mime-version")!)")

    // To get a MIME header in a sub-part, first navigate to it..
    var mpRelated: CkoMime? = mime.getPart(1)
    var pJpg: CkoMime? = mpRelated!.getPart(1)

    print("JPG Content-ID = \(pJpg!.getHeaderField("content-id")!)")
    print("JPG Content-Type = \(pJpg!.getHeaderField("content-type")!)")

    pJpg = nil
    mpRelated = nil
