get/set email headers w/SOAP?

[atongen]

Is it possible to get and set email headers using soap in Zimbra? It seems like this should be possible, but I've looked through all the doco and forums and still can't find anything. The GetMessageRequest soap call doesn't return any custom email headers that may have been set, unless I am missing something.

Thanks in advance,
Andrew

Actually, I can get the email headers by doing a GetMessageRequest with raw = 1. What I really need to be able to do is SET custom email headers using soap. The message object will then be sent using a SendMsgRequest call.

Anyone know how this could be done?

I don't believe this is possible at present unless you generate the MIME body yourself. See soap.txt for how to call SendMsg on an already-generated MIME message.

This is what I have been using:

<SendMsgRequest [suid="{send-uid}"] [needCalendarSentByFixup="0|1"] [noSave="0|1
"]>
  <m [origid="..." rt="r|w"] [idnt="{identity-id}"]>
    <e t="{type}" a="{email-address}" p="{personal-name}" [add="1"]/>+
    <su>{subject}</su>*
    [<irt>{Message-ID header for message being replied to}</irt>]
    <mp ct="{content-type}">
      <content>...</content>
    </mp>
    <attach [aid="{attach-upload-id}"]>
      [<m id="{message-id}"/>]*
      [<mp mid="{message-id}" part="{part-id}"/>]*
      [<cn id="{contact-id}"/>]*
    </attach>
  </m>
</SendMsgRequest>

I already have a generated Mime message and it is sent and delivered perfectly with soap. I only need to insert 1 custom header before it is sent.

Maybe I am missing something, but I just don't see how to add a header into the message using the SendMsg call above. Also, I haven't seen any examples of how to do this when observing the Zimbra web client with the AJAX debugging window turned on (http://zimbra/zimbra/mail?mode=mjsf&gzip=false&debug=1).

Is something like this even possible?

Thanks again,
Andrew

Use the other version of SendMsgRequest:

   or, if you want to compose the message remotely, upload it via
   FileUploadServlet, and submit it through our server:

<SendMsgRequest [suid="{send-uid}"] [needCalendarSentByFixup="0|1"]>
  <m aid="{uploaded-MIME-body-ID}" [origid="..." rt="r|w"]/>
</SendMsgRequest>

OK, thanks. I didn't realize you were referring to that SendMsgRequest.

By the way, I've tried looking at FileUploadServlet before, but I was never able to find the fileupload.txt file that is referenced in this thread.

Is this located in the source? I can't find it anywhere in zcs-4.5.3_GA_733.UBUNTU6.tgz. Probably not that big of a deal, it looks like it is just FileUpload from Jakarta Commons.

It's actually file-upload.txt.

Thanks for your help.
