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. Ruby

require 'chilkat'

success = false

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

rest = Chilkat::CkRest.new()

# Connect to the server using TLS
bAutoReconnect = false
success = rest.Connect("example.com",443,true,bAutoReconnect)
if (success == false)
    print rest.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# Create some sample JSON to be sent in the body of the request.
sbJson = Chilkat::CkStringBuilder.new()
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 == false)
    print rest.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# OK, the request was sent.
# Close the connection.
maxWaitMs = 50
rest.Disconnect(maxWaitMs)

print "JSON POST Sent." + "\n";
