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. Objective-C

#import <CkoRest.h>
#import <CkoStringBuilder.h>
#import <NSString.h>

BOOL success = NO;

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

CkoRest *rest = [[CkoRest alloc] init];

// Connect to the server using TLS
BOOL bAutoReconnect = NO;
success = [rest Connect: @"example.com" port: [NSNumber numberWithInt: 443] tls: YES autoReconnect: bAutoReconnect];
if (success == NO) {
    NSLog(@"%@",rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Create some sample JSON to be sent in the body of the request.
CkoStringBuilder *sbJson = [[CkoStringBuilder alloc] init];
[sbJson Append: @"{\"create\": [{\"name\": \"Woo Single #1\",\"type\": \"simple\",\"regular_price\": \"21.99\"}]}"];

// Add the Content-Type HTTP request header.
[rest AddHeader: @"Content-Type" value: @"application/json"];

// Just send the request.  Don't read the response.
// The request is sent to https://example.com/something?arg1=xyz&arg2=abc
NSString *somePath = @"/something?arg1=xyz&arg2=abc";
success = [rest SendReqSb: @"POST" uriPath: somePath bodySb: sbJson];
if (success == NO) {
    NSLog(@"%@",rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// OK, the request was sent.
// Close the connection.
int maxWaitMs = 50;
[rest Disconnect: [NSNumber numberWithInt: maxWaitMs]];

NSLog(@"%@",@"JSON POST Sent.");
