React Native Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Send XMLHttpRequest using PUT, GET, DELETE, or any HTTP Request Method

See more HTTP Examples

The PostXml method is the easiest way to send an XMLHttpRequest using the POST HTTP verb (which is by far the most common). To use a different HTTP request method (such as PUT, GET, DELETE, etc.), the SynchronousRequest method should be called. It provides more flexibility in constructing the exact HTTP request desired. React Native

import { Http, HttpRequest, HttpResponse } from '@chilkat/react-native'

async function chilkatExample() {
  // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  const http = new Http();

  // The XML sent in the body of the request is application
  // specified -- it should contain whatever the server-side
  // application is expecting..
  const xmlStr = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><appXml><something>123</something></appXml>';

  // If the service endpoint is  "http://www.chilkatsoft.com/xmlEcho.asp",
  // then we have the following arguments to be passed to
  // HttpSReq:
  const endpointDomain = 'www.chilkatsoft.com';
  const endpointPort = 443;
  const endpointSsl = true;

  // Prepare the HTTP request object:
  const req = new HttpRequest();
  req.path = '/xmlEcho.asp';

  // This example will use the "PUT" HTTP request method
  // (also known as HTTP verb)
  req.httpVerb = 'PUT';
  req.contentType = 'text/xml';
  req.charset = 'utf-8';
  req.loadBodyFromString(xmlStr, 'utf-8');

  const resp = new HttpResponse();
  try {
    await http.httpSReqAsync(endpointDomain, endpointPort, endpointSsl, req, resp);
  } catch {
    console.log(http.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // The raw HTTP request sent by the above call is:

  // PUT /xmlEcho.asp HTTP/1.1
  // Content-Type: text/xml
  // Host: www.chilkatsoft.com
  // Content-Length: 81
  // 
  // <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><appXml><something>123</something></appXml>

  // Examine the Body of the HTTP response
  // This would be the XML response sent by the server.
  console.log(resp.bodyStr);
