Introduction to the Mime Module

The Mime module provides definitions and functions related to MIME processing. MIME concepts are used in HTTP and SMTP communications, among others.

To use this module, use "%requires Mime" in your code. See the SmtpClient and the HttpServer modules for examples of Qore code using this module.

All the public symbols in the module are defined in the Mime namespace

The main definitions and functions are:

based on:

Example:
#!/usr/bin/env qore
%requires Mime
string str = "This is a test: æéìœü";
printf("%y: quoted printable: %y\n", mime_decode_quoted_printable(mime_encode_quoted_printable(str)), mime_encode_quoted_printable(str));
printf("%y: base64: %y\n", mime_decode_base64_to_string(mime_encode_base64(str)), mime_encode_base64(str));
printf("%y: header word q: %y\n", mime_decode_header(mime_encode_header_word_q(str)), mime_encode_header_word_q(str));
printf("%y: header word b: %y\n", mime_decode_header(mime_encode_header_word_b(str)), mime_encode_header_word_b(str));

The output of the above example looks like: 
"This is a test: æéìœü": quoted printable: "This is a test: =C3=A6=C3=A9=C3=AC=C5=93=C3=BC"
"This is a test: æéìœü": base64: "VGhpcyBpcyBhIHRlc3Q6IMOmw6nDrMWTw7w="
"This is a test: æéìœü": header word q: "=?UTF-8?Q?This_is_a_test:_=C3=A6=C3=A9=C3=AC=C5=93=C3=BC?="
"This is a test: æéìœü": header word b: "=?UTF-8?B?VGhpcyBpcyBhIHRlc3Q6IMOmw6nDrMWTw7w=?="
