POST JSON Without Waiting for the Response

See more REST Examples

This example demonstrates sending a POST w/ content-type "application/json" where the body of the POST contains a JSON document. The POST is sent, but we don't wait for the response. Dart

import 'package:chilkat/chilkat.dart';

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

  final rest = CkRest();

  // Connect to the server using TLS
  final bAutoReconnect = false;
  try {
    rest.connect('example.com', 443, true, bAutoReconnect);
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // Create some sample JSON to be sent in the body of the request.
  final sbJson = CkStringBuilder();
  sbJson.append('{"create": [{"name": "Woo Single #1","type": "simple","regular_price": "21.99"}]}');

  // Add the Content-Type HTTP request header.
  rest.addHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');

  // Just send the request.  Don't read the response.
  // The request is sent to https://example.com/something?arg1=xyz&arg2=abc
  final somePath = '/something?arg1=xyz&arg2=abc';
  try {
    rest.sendReqSb('POST', somePath, sbJson);
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // OK, the request was sent.
  // Close the connection.
  final maxWaitMs = 50;
  rest.disconnect(maxWaitMs);

  print('JSON POST Sent.');
