Detailed Description

A class that encapsulates MIME encoded Content.

A Content object holds two representations of a content:

  • the string representation: This is the content encoded as a string ready for transport. Accessible through the encodedContent() method.
  • the broken-down representation: This is the tree of objects (headers, sub-Contents and (if present) the encapsulated message) that this Content is made of. Accessible through methods like header(), contents() and bodyAsMessage().

The parse() function updates the broken-down representation of the Content from its string representation. Calling it is necessary to access the headers, sub-Contents or the encapsulated message of this Content.

The assemble() function updates the string representation of the Content from its broken-down representation. Calling it is necessary for encodedContent() to reflect any changes made to the broken-down representation of the Content.

There are two basic types of a Content:

  • A leaf Content: This is a content that is neither a multipart content nor an encapsulated message. Because of this, it will not have any children, it has no sub-contents and is therefore a leaf content. Only leaf contents have a body that is not empty, i.e. functions that operate on the body, such as body(), size() and decodedContent(), will work only on leaf contents.
  • A non-leaf Content: This is a content that itself doesn't have any body, but that does have sub-contents. This is the case for contents that are of mimetype multipart/ or of mimetype message/rfc822. In case of a multipart content, contents() will return the multipart child contents. In case of an encapsulated message, the message can be accessed with bodyAsMessage(), and contents() will have one entry that is the message as well. On a non-leaf content, body() will have an empty return value and other functions working on the body will not work. A call to parse() is required before the child multipart contents or the encapsulated message is created.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Content()

KMime::Content::Content ( Content * parent = nullptr)
explicit

Creates an empty Content object with a specified parent.

Parameters
parentthe parent Content object
Since
4.3

Definition at line 42 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ ~Content()

KMime::Content::~Content ( )
virtual

Destroys this Content object.

Definition at line 48 of file kmime_content.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ addContent()

void KMime::Content::addContent ( Content * content,
bool prepend = false )

Adds a new sub-Content.

If the sub-Content is already part of another Content object, it is removed from there and its parent is updated. If the current Content object is single-part, it is converted to multipart/mixed first.

Warning
If the single-part to multipart conversion happens, all pointers you may have into this object (such as headers) will become invalid!
Parameters
contentThe new sub-Content.
prependIf true, prepend to the Content list; otherwise append. to the Content list.
See also
removeContent().

Definition at line 473 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ appendContent()

void KMime::Content::appendContent ( Content * content)

Appends a new sub-Content.

If the sub-Content is already part of another Content object, it is removed from there and its parent is updated.

Parameters
contentThe new sub-Content.
See also
prependContent()
takeContent()
Since
6.0

Definition at line 528 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ appendHeader()

void KMime::Content::appendHeader ( Headers::Base * h)

Appends the specified header to the headers of this Content.

Parameters
hThe header to append.
Since
4.4

Definition at line 676 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ assemble()

void KMime::Content::assemble ( )

Generates the MIME content.

This means the string representation of this Content is updated from the broken-down object representation. Call this if you have made changes to the content, and want encodedContent() to reflect those changes.

Note
assemble() has no effect if the Content isFrozen(). You may want to freeze, for instance, signed sub-Contents, to make sure they are kept unmodified.
If this content is an encapsulated message, i.e. bodyIsMessage() returns true, then calling assemble() will also assemble the message returned by bodyAsMessage().
Warning
assemble() may change the order of the headers, and other details such as where folding occurs. This may break things like signature verification, so you should ONLY call assemble() when you have actually modified the content.

Definition at line 182 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ assembleHeaders()

QByteArray KMime::Content::assembleHeaders ( )
protectedvirtual

Reimplement this method if you need to assemble additional headers in a derived class.

Don't forget to call the implementation of the base class.

Returns
The raw, assembled headers.

Reimplemented in KMime::Message, and KMime::NewsArticle.

Definition at line 196 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ attachments()

QList< Content * > KMime::Content::attachments ( )

Returns all attachments below this node, recursively.

This does not include crypto parts, nodes of alternative or related multipart nodes, or the primary body part (see textContent()).

See also
KMime::isAttachment(), KMime::hasAttachment()

Definition at line 434 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ body()

QByteArray KMime::Content::body ( ) const

Returns the Content body raw data.

Note that this will be empty for multipart contents or for encapsulated messages, after parse() has been called.

See also
setBody().

Definition at line 81 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ bodyAsMessage()

Message::Ptr KMime::Content::bodyAsMessage ( ) const

If this content is an encapsulated message, in which case bodyIsMessage() will return true, the message represented by the body of this content will be returned.

The returned message is already fully parsed. Calling this method is the aquivalent of calling contents().first() and casting the result to a KMime::Message*. bodyAsMessage() has the advantage that it will return a shared pointer that will not be destroyed when the container message is destroyed or re-parsed.

The message that is returned here is created when calling parse(), so make sure to call parse() first. Since each parse() creates a new message object, a different message object will be returned each time you call parse().

If you make changes to the returned message, you need to call assemble() on this content or on the message if you want that encodedContent() reflects these changes. This also means that calling assemble() on this content will assemble the returned message.

Since
4.5

Definition at line 860 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ bodyIsMessage()

bool KMime::Content::bodyIsMessage ( ) const
Returns
true if this content is an encapsulated message, i.e. if it has the mimetype message/rfc822.
Since
4.5

Definition at line 869 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ changeEncoding()

void KMime::Content::changeEncoding ( Headers::contentEncoding e)

Changes the encoding of this Content to e.

If the Content is binary, this actually re-encodes the data to use the new encoding.

Parameters
eThe new encoding to use.

Definition at line 611 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ clear()

void KMime::Content::clear ( )

Clears the content, deleting all headers and sub-Contents.

Definition at line 209 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ clearContents()

void KMime::Content::clearContents ( bool del = true)

Removes all sub-Contents from this content.

Deletes them if del is true. This is different from calling removeContent() on each sub-Content, because removeContent() will convert this to a single-part Content if only one sub-Content is left. Calling clearContents() does NOT make this Content single-part.

Parameters
delWhether to delete the sub-Contents.
See also
removeContent()
Since
4.4

Definition at line 219 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ content()

Content * KMime::Content::content ( const ContentIndex & index) const

Returns the Content specified by the given index.

If the index does not point to a Content, 0 is returned. If the index is invalid (empty), this Content is returned.

Parameters
indexThe Content index.

Definition at line 776 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ contentDescription()

Headers::ContentDescription * KMime::Content::contentDescription ( bool create = true)

Returns the Content-Description header.

Parameters

Since
4.4

◆ contentLocation()

Headers::ContentLocation * KMime::Content::contentLocation ( bool create = true)

Returns the Content-Location header.

Parameters
createIf true, create the header if it doesn't exist yet.
Since
4.2

◆ contents()

QList< Content * > KMime::Content::contents ( ) const

For multipart contents, this will return a list of all multipart child contents.

For contents that are of mimetype message/rfc822, this will return a list with one entry, and that entry is the encapsulated message, as it would be returned by bodyAsMessage().

Definition at line 454 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ contentTransferEncoding()

Headers::ContentTransferEncoding * KMime::Content::contentTransferEncoding ( bool create = true)

Returns the Content-Transfer-Encoding header.

Parameters
createIf true, create the header if it doesn't exist yet.

◆ contentType()

Headers::ContentType * KMime::Content::contentType ( bool create = true)

Returns the Content-Type header.

Parameters
createIf true, create the header if it doesn't exist yet.

◆ decodedContent()

QByteArray KMime::Content::decodedContent ( )

Returns the decoded Content body.

Note that this will be empty for multipart contents or for encapsulated messages, after parse() has been called.

Definition at line 313 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ decodedText()

QString KMime::Content::decodedText ( bool trimText = false,
bool removeTrailingNewlines = false )

Returns the decoded text.

Additional to decodedContent(), this also applies charset decoding. If this is not a text Content, decodedText() returns an empty QString.

Parameters
trimTextIf true, then the decoded text will have all trailing whitespace removed.
removeTrailingNewlinesIf true, then the decoded text will have all consecutive trailing newlines removed.

The last trailing new line of the decoded text is always removed.

Definition at line 364 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ defaultCharset()

QByteArray KMime::Content::defaultCharset ( )
static

Returns the charset that is used to decode RFC2047 strings in all headers and to decode the body if the charset is not declared explicitly.

It is also used as the charset when encoding RFC2047 strings in headers.

Definition at line 771 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ encodedBody()

QByteArray KMime::Content::encodedBody ( )

Like encodedContent(), with the difference that only the body will be returned, i.e.

the headers are excluded.

Since
4.6

Definition at line 252 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ encodedContent()

QByteArray KMime::Content::encodedContent ( bool useCrLf = false)

Returns a QByteArray containing the encoded Content, including the Content header and all sub-Contents.

If you make changes to the broken-down representation of the message, be sure to first call assemble() before calling encodedContent(), otherwise the result will not be up-to-date.

If this content is an encapsulated message, i.e. bodyIsMessage() returns true, then encodedContent() will use the message returned by bodyAsMessage() as the body of the result, calling encodedContent() on the message.

Parameters
useCrLfIf true, use CRLF instead of LF for linefeeds.

Definition at line 229 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ epilogue()

QByteArray KMime::Content::epilogue ( ) const

Returns the MIME preamble.

Returns
a QByteArray containing the MIME epilogue.
Since
4.9

Definition at line 101 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ fromUnicodeString()

void KMime::Content::fromUnicodeString ( const QString & s)

Sets the Content body to the given string using charset of the content type.

If the charset can not be found, the system charset is taken and the content type header is changed to that charset. The charset of the content type header should be set to a charset that can encode the given string before calling this method.

This method does not set the content transfer encoding automatically, it needs to be set to a suitable value that can encode the given string before calling this method.

This method only makes sense for single-part contents, do not try to pass a multipart body or an encapsulated message here, that wouldn't work.

Parameters
sUnicode-encoded string.

Definition at line 402 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ hasContent()

bool KMime::Content::hasContent ( ) const

Returns true if this Content object is not empty.

Definition at line 57 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ hasHeader()

bool KMime::Content::hasHeader ( const char * type) const
Returns
true if this Content has a header of type type.
Parameters
typeThe type of the header to look for.

Definition at line 697 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ head()

QByteArray KMime::Content::head ( ) const

Returns the Content header raw data.

See also
setHead().

Definition at line 68 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ header()

template<typename T >
T * KMime::Content::header ( bool create = false)

Returns the first header of type T, if it exists.

If the header does not exist and create is true, creates an empty header and returns it. Otherwise returns 0. Note that the returned header may be empty.

Parameters
createWhether to create the header if it does not exist.
Since
4.4.

KDE5: BIC: FIXME: Why is the default argument false here? That is inconsistent with the methods in KMime::Message!

Definition at line 717 of file kmime_content.h.

◆ headerByType()

Headers::Base * KMime::Content::headerByType ( const char * type) const

Returns the first header of type type, if it exists.

Otherwise returns 0. Note that the returned header may be empty.

Since
4.2

Definition at line 642 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ headers()

QList< Headers::Base * > KMime::Content::headers ( ) const

Returns all headers.

Since
5.7

Definition at line 640 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ headersByType()

QList< Headers::Base * > KMime::Content::headersByType ( const char * type) const

Returns all type headers in the Content.

Take care that this result is not cached, so could be slow.

Parameters
typethe header type to find
Since
4.2

Definition at line 655 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ index()

ContentIndex KMime::Content::index ( ) const

Returns the index of this Content based on the topLevel() object.

Since
4.3

Definition at line 850 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ indexForContent()

ContentIndex KMime::Content::indexForContent ( Content * content) const

Returns the ContentIndex for the given Content, or an invalid index if the Content is not found within the hierarchy.

Parameters
contentthe Content object to search.

Definition at line 790 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ isFrozen()

bool KMime::Content::isFrozen ( ) const

Returns whether this Content is frozen.

A frozen content is immutable, i.e. calling assemble() will never modify its head or body, and encodedContent() will return the same data before and after parsing.

Since
4.4.
See also
setFrozen().

Definition at line 172 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ isTopLevel()

bool KMime::Content::isTopLevel ( ) const

Returns true if this is the top-level node in the MIME tree.

The top-level node is always a Message or NewsArticle. However, a node can be a Message without being a top-level node when it is an encapsulated message.

Definition at line 810 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ parent()

Content * KMime::Content::parent ( ) const

Returns the parent content object, or 0 if the content doesn't have a parent.

Since
4.3

Definition at line 833 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ parse()

void KMime::Content::parse ( )

Parses the Content.

This means the broken-down object representation of the Content is updated from the string representation of the Content.

Call this if you want to access or change headers, sub-Contents or the encapsulated message.

Note
Calling parse() twice will not work for multipart contents or for contents of which the body is an encapsulated message. The reason is that the first parse() will delete the body, so there is no body to work on for the second call of parse().
Calling this will reset the message returned by bodyAsMessage(), as the message is re-parsed as well. Also, all old sub-contents will be deleted, so any old Content pointer will become invalid.

Definition at line 111 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ preamble()

QByteArray KMime::Content::preamble ( ) const

Returns the MIME preamble.

Returns
a QByteArray containing the MIME preamble.
Since
4.9

Definition at line 91 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ prependContent()

void KMime::Content::prependContent ( Content * content)

Prepends a new sub-Content.

If the sub-Content is already part of another Content object, it is removed from there and its parent is updated.

Parameters
contentThe new sub-Content.
See also
appendContent()

Since
6.0

Definition at line 542 of file kmime_content.cpp.

◆ removeContent()

void KMime::Content::removeContent ( Content * content,
bool del = false )

Removes the given sub-Content.

If only one sub-Content is left, the current Content object is converted into a single-part Content.

Warning
If the multipart to single-part conversion happens, the head and body of the single remaining sub-Content are copied over, and the sub-Content is deleted. All pointers to it or into it (such as headers) will become invalid!
Parameters
contentThe Content to remove.
delIf true, delete the removed Content object. Otherwise set its parent to 0.
