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.

var
success: Integer;
rest: TChilkatRest;
bTls: Integer;
bAutoReconnect: Integer;
responseText: WideString;

begin
success := 0;

rest := TChilkatRest.Create(Self);
bTls := 1;
bAutoReconnect := 1;
success := rest.Connect('example.com',443,bTls,bAutoReconnect);
if (success = 0) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(rest.LastErrorText);
    Exit;
  end;

//  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.
responseText := rest.FullRequestFormUrlEncoded('POST','/api/login');
if (rest.LastMethodSuccess = 0) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(rest.LastErrorText);
    Exit;
  end;
Memo1.Lines.Add(responseText);
