Question:

Is there a way to convert a .mht file to a site (images etc.) on Linux?

Aug 19 '16 at 06:52

Hello,

I saw that there's a "UnpackMHT" on the IOS side, anything similar for Linux, in Perl or Python? I found some sample Perl code using chilkat::CkMime();, but it didn't produce anything after setting the .mht filename and target directory in it, and produced no errors. The sample code I used is below.

Thanks,

  -Adam

!/apps/perlthreaded/bin/perl
use chilkat();
$mime = new chilkat::CkMime();
$success = $mime->UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial.");
if ($success == 0) {
    print "Failed to unlock component" . "n";
    exit;
}
Load a MIME document from a file:
(.mht and .eml files contain MIME).
$success = $mime->LoadMimeFile("./test.mht");
if ($success == 0) {
    print $mime->lastErrorText() . "rn";
    exit;
}
sa is a StringArray
$sa = $mime->ExtractPartsToFiles("/home/oracle/site");
if ($sa eq null ) {
    print $mime->lastErrorText() . "rn";
    exit;
}
$n = $sa->get_Count();
Display the filepaths of the files created:
for ($i = 0; $i <= $n - 1; $i++) {
    print $sa->getString($i) . "rn";
}

The Chilkat API is essentially identical (other than syntax) across all programming languages and operating systems. The UnpackMHT method is available everywhere, including Linux.
