Send a REST Request with a Binary Body

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.FullRequestBd, which sends a complete request whose binary body is read from a BinData and stores the text response body in a StringBuilder.

The file paths are relative to the application's current working directory. Absolute paths may also be used. Supply the paths appropriate to your own environment.

import sys
import chilkat2

success = False

rest = chilkat2.Rest()
bTls = True
bAutoReconnect = True
success = rest.Connect("example.com",443,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
if (success == False):
    print(rest.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# The file paths are relative to the application's current working directory.  Absolute paths
# may also be used.  Supply the paths appropriate to your own environment.

# FullRequestBd sends a request whose binary body is read from a BinData and stores the text
# response body in a StringBuilder.
bdRequest = chilkat2.BinData()
bLoaded = bdRequest.LoadFile("qa_data/image.png")
if (bLoaded != True):
    print("Failed to load the request body file.")
    sys.exit()

rest.AddHeader("Content-Type","image/png")

sbResponse = chilkat2.StringBuilder()
success = rest.FullRequestBd("PUT","/api/images/1",bdRequest,sbResponse)
if (success == False):
    print(rest.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

responseText = sbResponse.GetAsString()
if (sbResponse.LastMethodSuccess == False):
    print(sbResponse.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

print(responseText)
