See more REST Examples

Demonstrates how to examine the HTTP response status code and text when using the REST object. Chilkat2-Python

import sys
import chilkat2

success = False

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

rest = chilkat2.Rest()

# We're going to check https://authenticationtest.com/HTTPAuth/
bTls = True
port = 443
bAutoReconnect = True
success = rest.Connect("authenticationtest.com",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
if (success != True):
    print(rest.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# Send a GET request
responseText = rest.FullRequestNoBody("GET","/HTTPAuth/")
if (rest.LastMethodSuccess != True):
    print(rest.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# The start line of an HTTP response, called the status line, contains the following information:
# 
#     The protocol version, usually HTTP/1.1.
#     A status code, indicating success or failure of the request. Common status codes are 200, 404, or 302
#     A status text. A brief, purely informational, textual description of the status code to help a human understand the HTTP message.
# 
# A typical status line looks like: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found.

# The ResponseStatusCode property contains the integer response code:
print("Response status code = " + str(rest.ResponseStatusCode))

# The ResponseStatusText property contains the text (if any) that follows the status code on the status line.
print("Response status text = " + rest.ResponseStatusText)

# In this case, the sample output is:
# 
# Response status code = 401
# Response status text = Unauthorized
