See more REST Examples

This example demonstrates sending an HTTP GET request without waiting for the response. C++

#include <CkRest.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

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

    CkRest rest;

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

    // Send a GET request to https://example.com/some/path 
    success = rest.SendReqNoBody("GET","/some/path");
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << rest.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    // OK, the request was sent.
    // Close the connection.
    int maxWaitMs = 50;
    rest.Disconnect(maxWaitMs);

    std::cout << "GET Request Sent." << "\r\n";
    }
