Send a REST Request with a Text Body

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.FullRequestString, a convenience method that sends a complete request whose text body (such as JSON, XML, or plain text) is supplied directly, then reads and returns the response body as text.

    success := false

    rest := chilkat.NewRest()
    bTls := true
    bAutoReconnect := true
    success = rest.Connect("example.com",443,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(rest.LastErrorText())
        rest.DisposeRest()
        return
    }

    //  Send a complete request whose text body is supplied directly, such as JSON.  The response body is
    //  read as text and returned.  The 1st argument is the HTTP verb, the 2nd is the URI path, and the
    //  3rd is the request body.
    rest.AddHeader("Content-Type","application/json")

    jsonBody := "{ \"name\": \"example\", \"active\": true }"
    responseText := rest.FullRequestString("POST","/api/items",jsonBody)
    if rest.LastMethodSuccess() == false {
        fmt.Println(rest.LastErrorText())
        rest.DisposeRest()
        return
    }

    fmt.Println(*responseText)

    rest.DisposeRest()
