POST JSON Without Waiting for the Response

See more REST Examples

This example demonstrates sending a POST w/ content-type "application/json" where the body of the POST contains a JSON document. The POST is sent, but we don't wait for the response. VB.NET

Dim success As Boolean = False

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

Dim rest As New Chilkat.Rest

' Connect to the server using TLS
Dim bAutoReconnect As Boolean = False
success = rest.Connect("example.com",443,True,bAutoReconnect)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' Create some sample JSON to be sent in the body of the request.
Dim sbJson As New Chilkat.StringBuilder
sbJson.Append("{""create"": [{""name"": ""Woo Single #1"",""type"": ""simple"",""regular_price"": ""21.99""}]}")

' Add the Content-Type HTTP request header.
rest.AddHeader("Content-Type","application/json")

' Just send the request.  Don't read the response.
' The request is sent to https://example.com/something?arg1=xyz&arg2=abc
Dim somePath As String = "/something?arg1=xyz&arg2=abc"
success = rest.SendReqSb("POST",somePath,sbJson)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' OK, the request was sent.
' Close the connection.
Dim maxWaitMs As Integer = 50
rest.Disconnect(maxWaitMs)

Debug.WriteLine("JSON POST Sent.")
