Add a Request Header to a REST Request

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.AddHeader, which adds an HTTP request header field. The 1st argument is the field name and the 2nd is the value. Adding a header whose name already exists replaces the previous value.

#include <C_CkRest.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    BOOL success;
    HCkRest rest;
    BOOL bTls;
    BOOL bAutoReconnect;
    const char *responseText;

    success = FALSE;

    rest = CkRest_Create();

    //  Connect to the REST server.  The 3rd argument enables TLS (use TRUE for HTTPS on port 443),
    //  and the 4th enables automatic reconnection if the connection is dropped between requests.
    bTls = TRUE;
    bAutoReconnect = TRUE;
    success = CkRest_Connect(rest,"example.com",443,bTls,bAutoReconnect);
    if (success == FALSE) {
        printf("%s\n",CkRest_lastErrorText(rest));
        CkRest_Dispose(rest);
        return;
    }

    //  Add request header fields.  The 1st argument is the field name and the 2nd is the value.
    //  Adding a header with a name that already exists replaces the previous value.
    CkRest_AddHeader(rest,"Accept","application/json");
    CkRest_AddHeader(rest,"X-Custom-Header","example-value");

    responseText = CkRest_fullRequestNoBody(rest,"GET","/api/data");
    if (CkRest_getLastMethodSuccess(rest) == FALSE) {
        printf("%s\n",CkRest_lastErrorText(rest));
