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";
