Example: Http.HttpReq method

Demonstrates how to call the HttpReq method. C#

bool success = false;

Chilkat.Http http = new Chilkat.Http();
success = false;

//  This example will send an HTTP POST with the body of the HTTP request containing JSON.

//  Create the following JSON: { "name": "Harry", "state": "FL" }

Chilkat.JsonObject json = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
json.UpdateString("name","Harry");
json.UpdateString("state","FL");

//  Specify the details of the request
Chilkat.HttpRequest req = new Chilkat.HttpRequest();

req.HttpVerb = "POST";
req.ContentType = "application/json";
req.LoadBodyFromString(json.Emit(),"utf-8");

//  Send the charset attribute in the HTTP request header.
req.SendCharset = true;
req.Charset = "utf-8";

//  Send the POST
//  You can send the POST to the URL below.  
//  The response will contain the raw body of the request that was sent.
//  (i.e. everything except the HTTP request header).

Chilkat.HttpResponse resp = new Chilkat.HttpResponse();
success = http.HttpReq("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/echo_request_body.asp",req,resp);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Examine the HTTP request header we sent:
Debug.WriteLine(http.LastHeader);

//  The response body contains the raw content of the HTTP request body we sent.
Debug.WriteLine(resp.BodyStr);

//  Sample output:

//  POST /echo_request_body.asp HTTP/1.1
//  Host: www.chilkatsoft.com
//  Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
//  Content-Length: 29
//  
//  
//  {"name":"Harry","state":"FL"}
