See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to send an HTTP XML request and retrieve the response. Dart

import 'package:chilkat/chilkat.dart';

void main() {
  // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  final http = CkHttp();

  // The XML sent in the body of the request is application
  // specified -- it should contain whatever the server-side
  // application is expecting..
  final xmlStr = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><appXml><something>123</something></appXml>';

  final urlEndpoint = 'http://www.chilkatsoft.com/xmlEcho.asp';
  final xmlCharset = 'utf-8';

  final resp = CkHttpResponse();
  try {
    http.httpStr('POST', urlEndpoint, xmlStr, xmlCharset, 'application/xml', resp);
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // The raw HTTP request sent by the above call is:

  // POST /xmlEcho.asp HTTP/1.1
  // Content-Type: text/xml
  // Host: www.chilkatsoft.com
  // Accept: */*
  // Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*; q=0.7
  // Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5
  // Accept-Encoding: gzip
  // Content-Length: 81
  // 
  // <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><appXml><something>123</something></appXml>

  // Examine the Body of the HTTP response
  // This would be the XML response sent by the server.
  print(resp.bodyStr);
