Ruby Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

HTTP PUT JSON

See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to send a JSON PUT and get the JSON response body. Ruby

require 'chilkat'

success = false

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

req = Chilkat::CkHttpRequest.new()
http = Chilkat::CkHttp.new()

#  The PUT request to be sent will look like this:

#  PUT /request HTTP/1.1
#  Content-Type: application/jsonrequest
#  Cookie: JSESSIONID=1234
#  Content-Encoding: identity
#  Host: json.penzance.org
#  Accept: application/jsonrequest
#  Accept-Encoding:
#  Content-Length: 72
#  
#  {"user":"doctoravatar@penzance.com","forecast":7,"t":"vlIj","zip":94089}

#  First, remove default header fields that would be automatically
#  sent.  (These headers are harmless, and shouldn't need to 
#  be suppressed, but just in case...)
http.put_AcceptCharset("")
http.put_UserAgent("")
http.put_AcceptLanguage("")

#  Suppress the Accept-Encoding header by disallowing 
#  a gzip response:
http.put_AllowGzip(false)

#  If a Cookie needs to be added...
http.SetRequestHeader("Cookie","JSESSIONID=1234")

#  Add the Content-Encoding: identity header.
http.SetRequestHeader("Content-Encoding","identity")

#  Modify the default "Accept" header:
http.put_Accept("application/jsonrequest")

jsonText = "{\"user\":\"doctoravatar@penzance.com\",\"forecast\":7,\"t\":\"vlIj\",\"zip\":94089}"

#  IMPORTANT: Make sure to change the URL, JSON text,
#  and other data items to your own values.  The URL used
#  in this example will not actually work.

resp = Chilkat::CkHttpResponse.new()
success = http.HttpStr("PUT","http://json.penzance.org/request",jsonText,"utf-8","application/jsonrequest",resp)
if (success == false)
    print http.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

print "Response status code: " + resp.get_StatusCode().to_s() + "\n";
