See more uncategorized Examples

Demonstrates how to add a token to HTTP requests for authorization. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

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

local http = chilkat.Http.new()

-- Setting the AuthToken property causes the "Authorization: Bearer <token>" header to be added to each request.
-- This applies to any of the Chilkat method calls that send a GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, or anything else..
http.auth_token = "ya29.a0Ad52N3_4P_LpZS......WZr44LJ6w017"

-- For example:
local responseStr = http:quick_get_str("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/helloWorld.xml")
print(responseStr)

-- The following HTTP request is sent in the above call.

-- GET /helloWorld.xml HTTP/1.1
-- Host: www.chilkatsoft.com
-- Accept: */*
-- Accept-Encoding: gzip
-- Authorization: Bearer ya29.a0Ad52N3_4P_LpZS......WZr44LJ6w017
