Duplicate curl -u user:password with Chilkat HTTP

See more HTTP Misc Examples

Demonstrates how to duplicate a curl command that uses the -u username:password option. (This assumes HTTP Basic Authentication, and Chilkat requires Basic authentication to be over a TLS connection.)

Duplicates the following curl command:

curl https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -H "Accept-Language: en_US" \
  -u "Client-Id:Secret" \
  -d "grant_type=client_credentials"

llSuccess = .F.

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

loHttp = createobject("CkHttp")
loReq = createobject("CkHttpRequest")

// The AddHeader method corresponds to the curl "-H" argument.
loReq.AddHeader("Accept","application/json")
loReq.AddHeader("Accept-Language","en_US")

// The curl "-d" argument specifies the HTTP request body.  In this case,
// we're sending an application/x-www-form-urlencoded request, and therefore
// the body contains the URL-encoded query parameters.
loReq.AddParam("grant_type","client_credentials")

loHttp.Login = "PAYPAL_REST_API_CLIENT_ID"
loHttp.Password = "PAYPAL_REST_API_SECRET"

// Sends a POST request where the Content-Type is application/x-www-form-urlencoded
loReq.HttpVerb = "POST"
loReq.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

loResp = createobject("CkHttpResponse")
llSuccess = loHttp.HttpReq("https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token",loReq,loResp)

    release loReq
    release loResp
