Send a Form-URL-Encoded REST Request

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.FullRequestFormUrlEncoded, which sends an application/x-www-form-urlencoded request. The body is built from the query parameters added to the object, and the response body is returned as text.

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 application/x-www-form-urlencoded body is built from the query parameters added to the object.
rest.AddQueryParam("username","alice");
rest.AddQueryParam("action","login");

//  Send the form-url-encoded request.  The parameters become the request body rather than the URL
//  query string.
string responseText = rest.FullRequestFormUrlEncoded("POST","/api/login");
if (rest.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine(responseText);
