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. PowerShell

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

$success = $false

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

$rest = New-Object Chilkat.Rest

# Connect to the server using TLS
$bAutoReconnect = $false
$success = $rest.Connect("example.com",443,$true,$bAutoReconnect)
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($rest.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

# Create some sample JSON to be sent in the body of the request.
$sbJson = New-Object Chilkat.StringBuilder
$sbJson.Append("{`"create`": [{`"name`": `"Woo Single #1`",`"type`": `"simple`",`"regular_price`": `"21.99`"}]}")

# Add the Content-Type HTTP request header.
$rest.AddHeader("Content-Type","application/json")

# Just send the request.  Don't read the response.
# The request is sent to https://example.com/something?arg1=xyz&arg2=abc
$somePath = "/something?arg1=xyz&arg2=abc"
$success = $rest.SendReqSb("POST",$somePath,$sbJson)
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($rest.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

# OK, the request was sent.
# Close the connection.
