Send HTTPS Get Without Waiting for the Response

See more REST Examples

This example demonstrates sending an HTTP GET request without waiting for the response. Zig

const std = @import("std");
const chilkat = @import("chilkat");

pub fn main(init: std.process.Init) !void {
    const alloc = init.arena.allocator();

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

    const rest = try chilkat.Rest.init();
    defer rest.deinit();

    // Connect to the server using TLS
    const b_auto_reconnect = false;
    rest.connect("example.com", 443, true, b_auto_reconnect) catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try rest.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };

    // Send a GET request to https://example.com/some/path
    rest.sendReqNoBody("GET", "/some/path") catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try rest.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };

    // OK, the request was sent.
    // Close the connection.
    const max_wait_ms = 50;
    rest.disconnect(max_wait_ms) catch {};

    std.debug.print("GET Request Sent.\n", .{});
