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";
print "Response JSON:" + "\n";
print resp.bodyStr() + "\n";
