' Demonstrates how to use Basic Authentication in a REST API call for Twilio.
' Sends an SMS text message..

' This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Rest")
set rest = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.Rest")

' Use Basic Authentication.
' Your Twilio Account SID is the username.
' Your Twilio Auth Token is the password.
success = rest.SetAuthBasic("TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID","TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN")

' Make the initial connection (without sending a request yet) to Twilio.
bTls = 1
port = 443
bAutoReconnect = 1
success = rest.Connect("api.twilio.com",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
If (success <> 1) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( rest.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

' Provide the information for the SMS text message:
success = rest.AddQueryParam("To","+16518675309")
success = rest.AddQueryParam("From","+15005550006")
success = rest.AddQueryParam("Body","Hey Jenny! Good luck on the bar exam!")
success = rest.AddQueryParam("MediaUrl","http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1075/1404618563_3ed9a44a3a.jpg")

' Send the SMS text message.
' Your Twilio Account SID is part of the URI path:
responseJson = rest.FullRequestFormUrlEncoded("POST","/2010-04-01/Accounts/TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID/Messages.json")
If (rest.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( rest.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

' When successful, the response status code will equal 201.
If (rest.ResponseStatusCode <> 201) Then
    ' Examine the request/response to see what happened.
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "response status code = " & rest.ResponseStatusCode) & "</pre>"
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "response status text = " & rest.ResponseStatusText) & "</pre>"
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "response header: " & rest.ResponseHeader) & "</pre>"
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "response body (if any): " & responseJson) & "</pre>"
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "---") & "</pre>"
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "LastRequestStartLine: " & rest.LastRequestStartLine) & "</pre>"
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "LastRequestHeader: " & rest.LastRequestHeader) & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

' The response is JSON.  We'll show how to get a few bits of information from it.
' A full sample JSON response is shown below..

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.JsonObject")
set json = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.JsonObject")
json.EmitCompact = 0
success = json.Load(responseJson)

' First show the entire JSON.
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( json.Emit()) & "</pre>"

' Now get some individual pieces of information:
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "sid: " & json.StringOf("sid")) & "</pre>"
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "body: " & json.StringOf("body")) & "</pre>"
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "media: " & json.StringOf("subresource_uris.media")) & "</pre>"
