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"

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

$http = new COM("Chilkat.Http");
$req = new COM("Chilkat.HttpRequest");

// The AddHeader method corresponds to the curl "-H" argument.
$req->AddHeader('Accept','application/json');
$req->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.
$req->AddParam('grant_type','client_credentials');

$http->Login = 'PAYPAL_REST_API_CLIENT_ID';
