Add a Query Parameter to a REST Request

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.AddQueryParam, which adds or replaces a query-string parameter. The 1st argument is the parameter name and the 2nd is its value; Chilkat URL-encodes both as needed.

#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 query-string parameters.  The 1st argument is the parameter name and the 2nd is its value.
    //  Chilkat automatically URL-encodes names and values as needed.
    rest.AddQueryParam("q","chilkat rest");
    rest.AddQueryParam("limit","10");

    //  For a GET request the parameters are appended to the URL query string.
    const char *responseText = rest.fullRequestNoBody("GET","/api/search");
    if (rest.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false) {
        std::cout << rest.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

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