Send XMLHttpRequest and Get Response

See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to send an HTTP XML request and retrieve the response. C#

bool success = false;

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

Chilkat.Http http = new Chilkat.Http();

//  The XML sent in the body of the request is application
//  specified -- it should contain whatever the server-side
//  application is expecting..
string xmlStr = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><appXml><something>123</something></appXml>";

string urlEndpoint = "http://www.chilkatsoft.com/xmlEcho.asp";
string xmlCharset = "utf-8";

Chilkat.HttpResponse resp = new Chilkat.HttpResponse();
success = http.HttpStr("POST",urlEndpoint,xmlStr,xmlCharset,"application/xml",resp);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  The raw HTTP request sent by the above call is:

//  POST /xmlEcho.asp HTTP/1.1
//  Content-Type: text/xml
//  Host: www.chilkatsoft.com
//  Accept: */*
//  Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*; q=0.7
//  Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5
//  Accept-Encoding: gzip
//  Content-Length: 81
//  
//  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><appXml><something>123</something></appXml>

//  Examine the Body of the HTTP response
//  This would be the XML response sent by the server.
Debug.WriteLine(resp.BodyStr);
