Add a Request Header to a REST Request

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.AddHeader, which adds an HTTP request header field. The 1st argument is the field name and the 2nd is the value. Adding a header whose name already exists replaces the previous value.

bool success = false;

Chilkat.Rest rest = new Chilkat.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) {
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Add request header fields.  The 1st argument is the field name and the 2nd is the value.
//  Adding a header with a name that already exists replaces the previous value.
rest.AddHeader("Accept","application/json");
rest.AddHeader("X-Custom-Header","example-value");

string responseText = rest.FullRequestNoBody("GET","/api/data");
if (rest.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine(responseText);
