See more REST Examples

Demonstrates how to send a POST with query params (x-www-form-urlencoded) using the Chilkat REST object. Ruby

require 'chilkat'

success = false

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

rest = Chilkat::CkRest.new()

# This example will send to https://www.chilkatsoft.com/echoPost.asp

# Make the initial connection (without sending a request yet).
bTls = true
port = 443
bAutoReconnect = true
success = rest.Connect("www.chilkatsoft.com",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
if (success != true)
    print rest.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# Provide query params.
rest.AddQueryParam("firstName","John")
rest.AddQueryParam("lastName","Doe")
rest.AddQueryParam("company","Bisco Bits Ltd.")

responseStr = rest.fullRequestFormUrlEncoded("POST","/echoPost.asp")
if (rest.get_LastMethodSuccess() != true)
    print rest.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# When successful, the response status code will equal 200.
if (rest.get_ResponseStatusCode() != 200)
    # Examine the request/response to see what happened.
    print "response status code = " + rest.get_ResponseStatusCode().to_s() + "\n";
    print "response status text = " + rest.responseStatusText() + "\n";
    print "response header: " + rest.responseHeader() + "\n";
    print "response body (if any): " + responseStr + "\n";
    print "---" + "\n";
    print "LastRequestStartLine: " + rest.lastRequestStartLine() + "\n";
    print "LastRequestHeader: " + rest.lastRequestHeader() + "\n";
    exit
end

print responseStr + "\n";
print "Success." + "\n";
