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"

PowerShell

Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

$success = $false

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

$http = New-Object Chilkat.Http
$req = New-Object 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"
$http.Password = "PAYPAL_REST_API_SECRET"

# Sends a POST request where the Content-Type is application/x-www-form-urlencoded
$req.HttpVerb = "POST"
$req.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

$resp = New-Object Chilkat.HttpResponse
$success = $http.HttpReq("https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token",$req,$resp)
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($http.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

if ($resp.StatusCode -ne 200) {
    $("Error status code: " + $resp.StatusCode)
    $($resp.BodyStr)
    exit
}

# The JSON response is in the resp BodyStr property
$($resp.BodyStr)
$("-- Success.")
