REST Upload Bandwidth Throttle

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates how to use upload bandwidth throttling with the REST API. This example will upload a file to Drobox using a file stream, with a limit on the bandwidth that can be used for the transfer. Go

    success := false

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

    // A Dropbox access token should have been previously obtained.
    // Dropbox access tokens do not expire.
    // See Dropbox Access Token.

    // To use bandwidth throttling, the connection should be made using the socket API.
    // This provides numerous properties to customize the connection, such as
    // BandwidthThrottleDown, BandwidthThrottleUp, ClientIpAddress, ClintPort, Http Proxy,
    // KeepAlive, PreferIpv6, RequireSslCertVerify, SoRcvBuf, SoSndBuf, SoReuseAddr,
    // SOCKS proxy, TcpNoSDelay, TlsPinSet, TlsCipherSuite, SslAllowedCiphers, etc.

    socket := chilkat.NewSocket()
    maxWaitMs := 5000
    success = socket.Connect("content.dropboxapi.com",443,true,maxWaitMs)
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(socket.LastErrorText())
        fmt.Println("Connect Fail Reason: ", socket.ConnectFailReason())
        socket.DisposeSocket()
        return
    }

    // Set the upload bandwidth throttle rate to 50000 bytes per second.
    socket.SetBandwidthThrottleUp(50000)

    rest := chilkat.NewRest()

    // Tell the REST object to use the connected socket.
    rest.UseConnection(socket,true)

    // The remainder of this example is identical to the example at:
    // Dropbox File Stream Upload.

    // Add request headers.
    rest.AddHeader("Content-Type","application/octet-stream")
    rest.AddHeader("Authorization","Bearer DROPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN")

    // The upload "parameters" contained in JSON passed in an HTTP request header.
    // This is the JSON to be added in this example:
    // { 
    //    "path": "/Homework/lit/hamlet.xml",
    //    "mode": "add",
    //    "autorename": true,
    //    "mute": false
    // }

    json := chilkat.NewJsonObject()
    json.AppendString("path","/Homework/lit/hamlet.xml")
    json.AppendString("mode","add")
    json.AppendBool("autorename",true)
    json.AppendBool("mute",false)
    rest.AddHeader("Dropbox-API-Arg",*json.Emit())

    // Almost ready to go...
    // Let's setup a file stream to point to a file.
    fileStream := chilkat.NewStream()
    fileStream.SetSourceFile("qa_data/xml/hamlet.xml")

    // Do the upload.  The URL is https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload.
    // We already connected to content.dropboxapi.com using TLS (i.e. HTTPS),
    // so now we only need to specify the path "/2/files/upload".

    // Note: The file is streamed directly from disk.  (The entire
    // file will not be loaded into memory.)
    responseStr := rest.FullRequestStream("POST","/2/files/upload",fileStream)
    if rest.LastMethodSuccess() == false {
        fmt.Println(rest.LastErrorText())
        socket.DisposeSocket()
        rest.DisposeRest()
        json.DisposeJsonObject()
        fileStream.DisposeStream()
        return
    }

    // When successful, Dropbox responds with a 200 response code.
    if rest.ResponseStatusCode() != 200 {
        // Examine the request/response to see what happened.
        fmt.Println("response status code = ", rest.ResponseStatusCode())
        fmt.Println("response status text = ", rest.ResponseStatusText())
        fmt.Println("response header: ", rest.ResponseHeader())
        fmt.Println("response body (if any): ", *responseStr)

        rest.DisposeRest()
        json.DisposeJsonObject()

        return
    }

    // The response is JSON.
    jsonResp := chilkat.NewJsonObject()
    jsonResp.SetEmitCompact(false)
    jsonResp.Load(*responseStr)

    // Show the JSON response.
    fmt.Println(*jsonResp.Emit())

    // Returns JSON that looks like this:
    // { 
    //   "name": "hamlet.xml",
    //   "path_lower": "/homework/lit/hamlet.xml",
    //   "path_display": "/Homework/lit/hamlet.xml",

    //   "rev": "9482db15f",
    //   "size": 279658
    // }

    // Sample code to get data from the JSON response:
    size := jsonResp.IntOf("size")
    fmt.Println("size = ", size)

    rev := jsonResp.StringOf("rev")
    fmt.Println("rev = ", *rev)

    dt := chilkat.NewDtObj()
    ckdt.ToDtObj(bLocalTime,dt)
