Perl Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

HTTP PUT JSON

See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to send a JSON PUT and get the JSON response body. Perl

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

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

$req = chilkat::CkHttpRequest->new();
$http = chilkat::CkHttp->new();

#  The PUT request to be sent will look like this:

#  PUT /request HTTP/1.1
#  Content-Type: application/jsonrequest
#  Cookie: JSESSIONID=1234
#  Content-Encoding: identity
#  Host: json.penzance.org
#  Accept: application/jsonrequest
#  Accept-Encoding:
#  Content-Length: 72
#  
#  {"user":"doctoravatar@penzance.com","forecast":7,"t":"vlIj","zip":94089}

#  First, remove default header fields that would be automatically
#  sent.  (These headers are harmless, and shouldn't need to 
#  be suppressed, but just in case...)
$http->put_AcceptCharset("");
$http->put_UserAgent("");
$http->put_AcceptLanguage("");

#  Suppress the Accept-Encoding header by disallowing 
#  a gzip response:
$http->put_AllowGzip(0);

#  If a Cookie needs to be added...
$http->SetRequestHeader("Cookie","JSESSIONID=1234");

#  Add the Content-Encoding: identity header.
$http->SetRequestHeader("Content-Encoding","identity");

#  Modify the default "Accept" header:
$http->put_Accept("application/jsonrequest");

$jsonText = '{\'user\':\'doctoravatar@penzance.com\',\'forecast\':7,\'t\':\'vlIj\',\'zip\':94089}';

#  IMPORTANT: Make sure to change the URL, JSON text,
#  and other data items to your own values.  The URL used
#  in this example will not actually work.

$resp = chilkat::CkHttpResponse->new();
$success = $http->HttpStr("PUT","http://json.penzance.org/request",$jsonText,"utf-8","application/jsonrequest",$resp);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $http->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

print "Response status code: " . $resp->get_StatusCode() . "\r\n";
print "Response JSON:" . "\r\n";
print $resp->bodyStr() . "\r\n";
