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. JavaScript

var success = false;

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

var rest = new CkRest();

// Connect to the server using TLS
var bAutoReconnect = false;
success = rest.Connect("example.com",443,true,bAutoReconnect);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Create some sample JSON to be sent in the body of the request.
var sbJson = new 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
var somePath = "/something?arg1=xyz&arg2=abc";
success = rest.SendReqSb("POST",somePath,sbJson);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

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

console.log("JSON POST Sent.");
