Add a Request Header to a REST Request

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.AddHeader, which adds an HTTP request header field. The 1st argument is the field name and the 2nd is the value. Adding a header whose name already exists replaces the previous value.

    success := false

    rest := chilkat.NewRest()

    //  Connect to the REST server.  The 3rd argument enables TLS (use true for HTTPS on port 443),
    //  and the 4th enables automatic reconnection if the connection is dropped between requests.
    bTls := true
    bAutoReconnect := true
    success = rest.Connect("example.com",443,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(rest.LastErrorText())
        rest.DisposeRest()
        return
    }

    //  Add request header fields.  The 1st argument is the field name and the 2nd is the value.
    //  Adding a header with a name that already exists replaces the previous value.
    rest.AddHeader("Accept","application/json")
    rest.AddHeader("X-Custom-Header","example-value")

    responseText := rest.FullRequestNoBody("GET","/api/data")
    if rest.LastMethodSuccess() == false {
        fmt.Println(rest.LastErrorText())
        rest.DisposeRest()
        return
    }

    fmt.Println(*responseText)

    rest.DisposeRest()
