Add a Path Substitution Parameter to a REST Request

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.AddPathParam, which adds or replaces a path-substitution parameter. Before a request is sent, each occurrence of the name in the URI path is replaced with its value.

#include <CkRest.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    CkRest rest;

    //  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.
    bool bTls = true;
    bool bAutoReconnect = true;
    success = rest.Connect("example.com",443,bTls,bAutoReconnect);
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << rest.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    //  Add path-substitution parameters.  Before a request is sent, each occurrence of the name in the
    //  URI path is replaced with the value.  This keeps the path template readable.
    rest.AddPathParam("{userId}","12345");
    rest.AddPathParam("{orderId}","98765");

    //  The placeholders in the path are replaced before the request is sent.
    const char *responseText = rest.fullRequestNoBody("GET","/users/{userId}/orders/{orderId}");
    if (rest.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false) {
        std::cout << rest.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    std::cout << responseText << "\r\n";
    }
