REST Upload Bandwidth Throttle

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates how to use upload bandwidth throttling with the REST API. This example will upload a file to Drobox using a file stream, with a limit on the bandwidth that can be used for the transfer. AutoIt

Local $bSuccess = False

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

;  A Dropbox access token should have been previously obtained.
;  Dropbox access tokens do not expire.
;  See Dropbox Access Token.

;  To use bandwidth throttling, the connection should be made using the socket API.
;  This provides numerous properties to customize the connection, such as
;  BandwidthThrottleDown, BandwidthThrottleUp, ClientIpAddress, ClintPort, Http Proxy,
;  KeepAlive, PreferIpv6, RequireSslCertVerify, SoRcvBuf, SoSndBuf, SoReuseAddr,
;  SOCKS proxy, TcpNoSDelay, TlsPinSet, TlsCipherSuite, SslAllowedCiphers, etc.

$oSocket = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Socket")
Local $iMaxWaitMs = 5000
$bSuccess = $oSocket.Connect("content.dropboxapi.com",443,True,$iMaxWaitMs)
If ($bSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oSocket.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("Connect Fail Reason: " & $oSocket.ConnectFailReason & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

;  Set the upload bandwidth throttle rate to 50000 bytes per second.
$oSocket.BandwidthThrottleUp = 50000

$oRest = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Rest")

;  Tell the REST object to use the connected socket.
$oRest.UseConnection($oSocket,True)

;  The remainder of this example is identical to the example at:
;  Dropbox File Stream Upload.

;  Add request headers.
$oRest.AddHeader("Content-Type","application/octet-stream")
$oRest.AddHeader("Authorization","Bearer DROPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN")

;  The upload "parameters" contained in JSON passed in an HTTP request header.
;  This is the JSON to be added in this example:
;  { 
;     "path": "/Homework/lit/hamlet.xml",
;     "mode": "add",
;     "autorename": true,
;     "mute": false
;  }

$oJson = ObjCreate("Chilkat.JsonObject")
$oJson.AppendString("path","/Homework/lit/hamlet.xml")
$oJson.AppendString("mode","add")
$oJson.AppendBool("autorename",True)
$oJson.AppendBool("mute",False)
$oRest.AddHeader("Dropbox-API-Arg",$oJson.Emit())

;  Almost ready to go...
;  Let's setup a file stream to point to a file.
$oFileStream = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Stream")
$oFileStream.SourceFile = "qa_data/xml/hamlet.xml"

;  Do the upload.  The URL is https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload.
;  We already connected to content.dropboxapi.com using TLS (i.e. HTTPS),
;  so now we only need to specify the path "/2/files/upload".

;  Note: The file is streamed directly from disk.  (The entire
;  file will not be loaded into memory.)
Local $sResponseStr = $oRest.FullRequestStream("POST","/2/files/upload",$oFileStream)
If ($oRest.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oRest.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

;  When successful, Dropbox responds with a 200 response code.
If ($oRest.ResponseStatusCode <> 200) Then
    ;  Examine the request/response to see what happened.
    ConsoleWrite("response status code = " & $oRest.ResponseStatusCode & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("response status text = " & $oRest.ResponseStatusText & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("response header: " & $oRest.ResponseHeader & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("response body (if any): " & $sResponseStr & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("---" & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("LastRequestStartLine: " & $oRest.LastRequestStartLine & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("LastRequestHeader: " & $oRest.LastRequestHeader & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

;  The response is JSON.
$oJsonResp = ObjCreate("Chilkat.JsonObject")
$oJsonResp.EmitCompact = False
$oJsonResp.Load($sResponseStr)

;  Show the JSON response.
ConsoleWrite($oJsonResp.Emit() & @CRLF)

;  Returns JSON that looks like this:
;  { 
;    "name": "hamlet.xml",
;    "path_lower": "/homework/lit/hamlet.xml",
;    "path_display": "/Homework/lit/hamlet.xml",
;    "id": "id:74FkdeNuyKAAAAAAAAAAAQ",
;    "client_modified": "2016-06-02T23:19:00Z",
;    "server_modified": "2016-06-02T23:19:00Z",
;    "rev": "9482db15f",
;    "size": 279658
;  }

;  Sample code to get data from the JSON response:
Local $iSize = $oJsonResp.IntOf("size")
ConsoleWrite("size = " & $iSize & @CRLF)

Local $sRev = $oJsonResp.StringOf("rev")
ConsoleWrite("rev = " & $sRev & @CRLF)

Local $sClientModified = $oJsonResp.StringOf("client_modified")
$oCkdt = ObjCreate("Chilkat.CkDateTime")
$oCkdt.SetFromTimestamp($sClientModified)
Local $bLocalTime = True
$oDt = ObjCreate("Chilkat.DtObj")
$oCkdt.ToDtObj $bLocalTime,$oDt

ConsoleWrite($oDt.Day & "/" & $oDt.Month & "/" & $oDt.Year & " " & $oDt.Hour & ":" & $oDt.Minute & @CRLF)
