Duplicate curl -u user:password with Chilkat HTTP

See more HTTP Misc Examples

Demonstrates how to duplicate a curl command that uses the -u username:password option. (This assumes HTTP Basic Authentication, and Chilkat requires Basic authentication to be over a TLS connection.)

Duplicates the following curl command:

curl https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -H "Accept-Language: en_US" \
  -u "Client-Id:Secret" \
  -d "grant_type=client_credentials"

Rust

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

let http = chilkat::Http::new();
let req = chilkat::HttpRequest::new();

// The AddHeader method corresponds to the curl "-H" argument.
req.add_header("Accept", "application/json");
req.add_header("Accept-Language", "en_US");

// The curl "-d" argument specifies the HTTP request body.  In this case,
// we're sending an application/x-www-form-urlencoded request, and therefore
// the body contains the URL-encoded query parameters.
req.add_param("grant_type", "client_credentials");

http.set_login("PAYPAL_REST_API_CLIENT_ID");
http.set_password("PAYPAL_REST_API_SECRET");

// Sends a POST request where the Content-Type is application/x-www-form-urlencoded
req.set_http_verb("POST");
req.set_content_type("application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

let resp = chilkat::HttpResponse::new();
if http.http_req("https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token", &req, &resp).is_err() {
    println!("{}", http.last_error_text());
    return;
}

if resp.status_code() != 200 {
    println!("Error status code: {}", resp.status_code());
    println!("{}", resp.body_str());
    return;
}

// The JSON response is in the resp BodyStr property
println!("{}", resp.body_str());
println!("-- Success.");
