See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.SetAuthBasic, which configures HTTP Basic authentication from a username and password. Chilkat automatically adds the Authorization header to each request sent through the object.

import 'package:chilkat/chilkat.dart';

void main() {
  final rest = CkRest();
  final bTls = true;
  final bAutoReconnect = true;
  try {
    rest.connect('example.com', 443, bTls, bAutoReconnect);
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // Normally you would not hard-code secrets in source.  You should instead obtain them from an
  // interactive prompt, environment variable, or a secrets vault.
  final username = 'myUsername';
  final password = 'myPassword';

  // Configure HTTP Basic authentication.  Chilkat automatically adds the Authorization header to
  // each request sent through this object.
  try {
    rest.setAuthBasic(username, password);
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  final String responseText;
  try {
    responseText = rest.fullRequestNoBody('GET', '/api/protected');
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  print(responseText);
