Send a REST Request with a Binary Body

See more REST Examples

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

The file paths are relative to the application's current working directory. Absolute paths may also be used. Supply the paths appropriate to your own environment.

bool success = false;

Chilkat.Rest rest = new Chilkat.Rest();
bool bTls = true;
bool bAutoReconnect = true;
success = rest.Connect("example.com",443,bTls,bAutoReconnect);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  The file paths are relative to the application's current working directory.  Absolute paths
//  may also be used.  Supply the paths appropriate to your own environment.

//  FullRequestBd sends a request whose binary body is read from a BinData and stores the text
//  response body in a StringBuilder.
Chilkat.BinData bdRequest = new Chilkat.BinData();
bool bLoaded = bdRequest.LoadFile("qa_data/image.png");
if (bLoaded != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine("Failed to load the request body file.");
    return;
}

rest.AddHeader("Content-Type","image/png");

Chilkat.StringBuilder sbResponse = new Chilkat.StringBuilder();
success = rest.FullRequestBd("PUT","/api/images/1",bdRequest,sbResponse);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

string responseText = sbResponse.GetAsString();
if (sbResponse.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(sbResponse.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine(responseText);
