Send XMLHttpRequest and Get Response

See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to send an HTTP XML request and retrieve the response. Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

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

    let http = CkoHttp()!

    //  The XML sent in the body of the request is application
    //  specified -- it should contain whatever the server-side
    //  application is expecting..
    var xmlStr: String? = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><appXml><something>123</something></appXml>"

    var urlEndpoint: String? = "http://www.chilkatsoft.com/xmlEcho.asp"
    var xmlCharset: String? = "utf-8"

    let resp = CkoHttpResponse()!
    success = http.httpStr(verb: "POST", url: urlEndpoint, bodyStr: xmlStr, charset: xmlCharset, contentType: "application/xml", response: resp)
    if success == false {
        print("\(http.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    //  The raw HTTP request sent by the above call is:

    //  POST /xmlEcho.asp HTTP/1.1
    //  Content-Type: text/xml
    //  Host: www.chilkatsoft.com
    //  Accept: */*
    //  Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*; q=0.7
    //  Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5
    //  Accept-Encoding: gzip
    //  Content-Length: 81
    //  
    //  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><appXml><something>123</something></appXml>

    //  Examine the Body of the HTTP response
    //  This would be the XML response sent by the server.
    print("\(resp.bodyStr!)")
