Client Certificate in REST

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates how to use a client certificate with a REST connection. Ruby

require 'chilkat'

success = false

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

# This example shows how to use the Chilkat socket object's connection.
rest = Chilkat::CkRest.new()
socket = Chilkat::CkSocket.new()

# Set the certificate to be used for mutual TLS authentication
# (i.e. sets the client-side certificate for two-way TLS authentication)
# Note: There are other ways to set the client certificate using Chilkat.
# For example, on Windows systems, a Chilkat certificate object could be loaded with certificate
# pre-installed (with private key) in a Windows certificate store, and then socket.SetSslClientCert could be called.
success = socket.SetSslClientCertPfx("/home/bob/pfxFiles/myClientSideCertWithPrivateKey.pfx","pfxPassword")
if (success != true)
    print socket.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# Note: The certificate used for the client-side of TLS mutual authentication
# must have the associated private key available. (.pfx/.p12 files typically store both
# the certificate and associated private key.)

# Establish the connection using the socket object (with client certificate authentication).
bTls = true
port = 443
maxWaitMs = 5000
success = socket.Connect("www.example.com",port,bTls,maxWaitMs)
if (success != true)
    print "Connect Failure Error Code: " + socket.get_ConnectFailReason().to_s() + "\n";
    print socket.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

bAutoReconnect = true

# Use the connection:
success = rest.UseConnection(socket,bAutoReconnect)
if (success != true)
    print rest.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# At this point we are connected and can make REST calls...
# For example..
responseJson = rest.fullRequestNoBody("GET","/someQuery")
if (rest.get_LastMethodSuccess() != true)
    print rest.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end
