Add a Path Substitution Parameter to a REST Request

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.AddPathParam, which adds or replaces a path-substitution parameter. Before a request is sent, each occurrence of the name in the URI path is replaced with its 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 path-substitution parameters.  Before a request is sent, each occurrence of the name in the
    //  URI path is replaced with the value.  This keeps the path template readable.
    rest.AddPathParam("{userId}","12345")
    rest.AddPathParam("{orderId}","98765")

    //  The placeholders in the path are replaced before the request is sent.
    responseText := rest.FullRequestNoBody("GET","/users/{userId}/orders/{orderId}")
    if rest.LastMethodSuccess() == false {
        fmt.Println(rest.LastErrorText())
        rest.DisposeRest()
        return
    }

    fmt.Println(*responseText)

    rest.DisposeRest()
