Send XML REST Request, Get Response with No Body (Google Cloud Storage)

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates sending a RESTful XML request, and receiving a response where the expected response is a header with no body (Content-Length = 0). This example will create a bucket in Google Cloud Storage using the Google Cloud Storage XML API.

See Create a Bucket using the XML API for additional request options.

# This example will create a bucket in Google Cloud Storage using the XML API.

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

gAuth = chilkat.CkAuthGoogle()
# Obtain an access token as shown in one of the following examples:
# See Get Access Token using a Service Account JSON Key
# See Get Access Token using a P12 File

rest = chilkat.CkRest()

# Connect using TLS.
bAutoReconnect = True
success = rest.Connect("www.googleapis.com",443,True,bAutoReconnect)

# Provide the authentication credentials (i.e. the access key)
success = rest.SetAuthGoogle(gAuth)

# Build the XML request body for creating a bucket.
# See https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/xml-api/put-bucket-create
xmlReqBody = chilkat.CkXml()
xmlReqBody.put_Tag("CreateBucketConfiguration")

# Show the HTTP request body we'll be sending.
print(xmlReqBody.getXml())

# There are no query parameters...

# The HOST header must be specified, because it needs to be different than
# the domain previously passed to the Connect method.
# The name of the bucket is the 1st part of the HOST header.
success = rest.AddHeader("Host","chilkat-example-bucket.storage.googleapis.com")

# The project ID is specified in an HTTP request header
success = rest.AddHeader("x-goog-project-id","chilkattest-1050")

# In this case, the response body is expected to be empty.  We can still
# call FullRequestString.  We expect an empty string to be returned.
responseStr = rest.fullRequestString("PUT","/",xmlReqBody.getXml())
if (rest.get_LastMethodSuccess() != True):
    print(rest.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# Check the response status code to make sure it is 200.
