Send a REST Request using StringBuilder Bodies

See more REST Examples

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

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;
}

//  FullRequestSb sends a request whose text body is read from a StringBuilder and stores the text
//  response body in a second StringBuilder.  This avoids extra string conversions for large bodies.
Chilkat.StringBuilder sbRequest = new Chilkat.StringBuilder();
sbRequest.Append("{ \"query\": \"chilkat\" }");

rest.AddHeader("Content-Type","application/json");

Chilkat.StringBuilder sbResponse = new Chilkat.StringBuilder();
success = rest.FullRequestSb("POST","/api/search",sbRequest,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);
