Demonstrates how to use a client certificate with a REST connection.

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

// This example shows how to use the Chilkat socket object's connection.
loRest = createobject("CkRest")
loSocket = createobject("CkSocket")

// Set the certificate to be used for mutual TLS authentication
// (i.e. sets the client-side certificate for two-way TLS authentication)
// Note: There are other ways to set the client certificate using Chilkat.
// For example, on Windows systems, a Chilkat certificate object could be loaded with certificate
// pre-installed (with private key) in a Windows certificate store, and then socket.SetSslClientCert could be called.
llSuccess = loSocket.SetSslClientCertPfx("/home/bob/pfxFiles/myClientSideCertWithPrivateKey.pfx","pfxPassword")
if (llSuccess <> .T.) then
    ? loSocket.LastErrorText
    release loRest
    release loSocket
    return
endif

// Note: The certificate used for the client-side of TLS mutual authentication
// must have the associated private key available. (.pfx/.p12 files typically store both
// the certificate and associated private key.)

// Establish the connection using the socket object (with client certificate authentication).
llBTls = .T.
lnPort = 443
lnMaxWaitMs = 5000
llSuccess = loSocket.Connect("www.example.com",lnPort,llBTls,lnMaxWaitMs)

    ? "Connect Failure Error Code: " + str(loSocket.ConnectFailReason)
    ? loSocket.LastErrorText
    release loRest
    release loSocket
    return

llBAutoReconnect = .T.

// Use the connection:
llSuccess = loRest.UseConnection(loSocket,llBAutoReconnect)
if (llSuccess <> .T.) then
    ? loRest.LastErrorText
    release loRest
    release loSocket
    return
endif

// At this point we are connected and can make REST calls...
// For example..
lcResponseJson = loRest.FullRequestNoBody("GET","/someQuery")
