Rust Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

HTTP POST JSON (application/json)

See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to send a JSON POST using the application/json content-type. Rust

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

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

// If any custom headers need to be included with the POST, add them
// by calling SetRequestHeader

// Note: An application should never explicitly set the Content-Length header.
// The Content-Length is automatically computed and added by Chilkat.

// Here are some examples of custom headers.  

// Perhaps your particular app needs some sort of custom-computed Authorization header...
http.set_request_header("Authorization", "my-custom-computed-auth-value");

// Another custom header for some hypothetical app:
http.set_request_header("X-Pass-Timestamp", "my-custom-computed-timestamp-value");

// The following "Accept" header may be set, but it really isn't necessary:
http.set_request_header("Accept", "application/json");

let json_text = "{ some JSON text ... }".to_string();

// To use SSL/TLS, simply use "https://" in the URL.

let resp = chilkat::HttpResponse::new();
if http.http_str("POST", "http://www.someserver.com/someJsonEndpoint", &json_text, "utf-8", "application/json", &resp).is_err() {
    println!("{}", http.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Display the JSON response.
println!("{}", resp.body_str());
