Send a REST Request using StringBuilder Bodies

See more REST Examples

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

#include <CkRest.h>
#include <CkStringBuilder.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

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

    //  FullRequestSb sends a request whose text body is read from a StringBuilder and stores the text
    //  response body in a second StringBuilder.  This avoids extra string conversions for large bodies.
    CkStringBuilder sbRequest;
    sbRequest.Append("{ \"query\": \"chilkat\" }");

    rest.AddHeader("Content-Type","application/json");

    CkStringBuilder sbResponse;
    success = rest.FullRequestSb("POST","/api/search",sbRequest,sbResponse);
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << rest.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    const char *responseText = sbResponse.getAsString();
    if (sbResponse.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false) {
        std::cout << sbResponse.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

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