Send a Form-URL-Encoded REST Request

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.FullRequestFormUrlEncoded, which sends an application/x-www-form-urlencoded request. The body is built from the query parameters added to the object, and the response body is returned as text.

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 application/x-www-form-urlencoded body is built from the query parameters added to the object.
rest.AddQueryParam("username","alice")
rest.AddQueryParam("action","login")

# Send the form-url-encoded request.  The parameters become the request body rather than the URL
# query string.
responseText = rest.FullRequestFormUrlEncoded("POST","/api/login")
if (rest.LastMethodSuccess == False):
    print(rest.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

print(responseText)
