Download a Binary REST Response into BinData

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.FullRequestNoBodyBd, which sends a request with no body and stores the binary response body in a BinData.

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;
}

//  FullRequestNoBodyBd sends a request with no body and stores the binary response body in a
//  BinData.  This is appropriate when the response is binary, such as an image or file download.
Chilkat.BinData bdResponse = new Chilkat.BinData();
success = rest.FullRequestNoBodyBd("GET","/api/images/1",bdResponse);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText);

bool bSaved = bdResponse.WriteFile("qa_output/image.png");
if (bSaved != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine("Failed to save the response body.");
