(Visual FoxPro) Xero API through an HTTP Proxy

This example demonstrates connecting through an HTTP proxy w/ 2-legged OAuth for a Xero private application.

This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.64 or later

* This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.64 or later

* This sample code would typically be placed in a subroutine or function
* where the rest object is passed by reference.
* It does the OAuth1 setup and makes the initial connection.
loRest = CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Rest')

* Connect to the Xero server through an HTTP proxy, and then tell the REST object
* to use the socket connection.
loSocket = CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Socket')

* Set the HTTP proxy domain or IP address, and port.
loSocket.HttpProxyHostname = "192.168.1.100"
loSocket.HttpProxyPort = 8088

* Connect through the HTTP proxy..
lnBTls = 1
lnPort = 443
lnMaxWaitMs = 5000
lnSuccess = loSocket.Connect("api.xero.com",lnPort,lnBTls,lnMaxWaitMs)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? "Connect Failure Error Code: " + STR(loSocket.ConnectFailReason)
    ? loSocket.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loRest
    RELEASE loSocket
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Use the HTTP proxied TLS connection:
lnSuccess = loRest.UseConnection(loSocket,1)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loRest.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loRest
    RELEASE loSocket
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* OK, we're connected.  
* The UseConnection method has an internal reference to the underlying/internal socket.
* The application can does not need to keep its socket object in existence.
* -----------------------------------------------------------------
* Now setup the OAuth1 authenticator..

lcConsumerKey = "XERO_PRIVATE_APP_KEY"
lcConsumerSecret = "XERO_PRIVATE_APP_SECRET"

* Let's get our private key from our PFX (password protected), or the PEM (unprotected).
* You can decide which to use.  Either is OK, although I would recommend keeping your
* private keys in a PFX and not in an unprotected PEM.
loPfx = CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Pfx')
lnSuccess = loPfx.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/certs/xero_private_app/public_privatekey.pfx","PFX_PASSWORD")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loPfx.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loRest
    RELEASE loSocket
    RELEASE loPfx
    CANCEL
ENDIF

loPrivKeyFromPfx = loPfx.GetPrivateKey(0)
IF (loPfx.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loPfx.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loRest
    RELEASE loSocket
    RELEASE loPfx
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Or we can load from a PEM..
loPrivKeyFromPem = CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.PrivateKey')
lnSuccess = loPrivKeyFromPem.LoadPemFile("qa_data/certs/xero_private_app/privatekey.pem")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loPrivKeyFromPem.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loRest
    RELEASE loSocket
    RELEASE loPfx
    RELEASE loPrivKeyFromPem
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Note: There are many other means for loading a private key, including
* from other formats and directly from memory (i.e. not file-based).

loOauth1 = CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.OAuth1')
loOauth1.ConsumerKey = lcConsumerKey
loOauth1.ConsumerSecret = lcConsumerSecret
loOauth1.Token = lcConsumerKey
loOauth1.TokenSecret = lcConsumerSecret
loOauth1.SignatureMethod = "RSA-SHA1"
loOauth1.SetRsaKey(loPrivKeyFromPfx)
RELEASE loPrivKeyFromPfx

* Install the OAuth1 authenticator.
loRest.SetAuthOAuth1(loOauth1,0)

? "OK, the Xero OAuth1 is initialized and the REST object is ready to make REST API calls.."

* -----------------------------------------------------------------
* Make a call to verify that OAuth1 through an HTTP proxy works..

* Get the full list of contacts.
loSbXml = CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.StringBuilder')
lnSuccess = loRest.FullRequestNoBodySb("GET","/api.xro/2.0/Contacts",loSbXml)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loRest.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loRest
    RELEASE loSocket
    RELEASE loPfx
    RELEASE loPrivKeyFromPem
    RELEASE loOauth1
    RELEASE loSbXml
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* A 200 response is expected for actual success.
IF (loRest.ResponseStatusCode <> 200) THEN
    ? loSbXml.GetAsString()
    RELEASE loRest
    RELEASE loSocket
    RELEASE loPfx
    RELEASE loPrivKeyFromPem
    RELEASE loOauth1
    RELEASE loSbXml
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Iterate over the contacts..
lnBAutoTrim = 0
loXml = CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Xml')
loXml.LoadSb(loSbXml,lnBAutoTrim)
loXml.SaveXml("qa_cache/xero_contacts.xml")

* How many records exist?
lnRecordCount = loXml.NumChildrenAt("Contacts")
? "numRecords = " + STR(lnRecordCount)

i = 0
DO WHILE i < lnRecordCount
    loXml.I = i
    ? "ContactID: " + loXml.GetChildContent("Contacts|Contact[i]|ContactID")
    i = i + 1
