Examine HTTP Response Status Code and Text

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates how to examine the HTTP response status code and text when using the REST object. Go

    success := false

    // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    rest := chilkat.NewRest()

    // We're going to check https://authenticationtest.com/HTTPAuth/
    bTls := true
    port := 443
    bAutoReconnect := true
    success = rest.Connect("authenticationtest.com",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(rest.LastErrorText())
        rest.DisposeRest()
        return
    }

    // Send a GET request
    responseText := rest.FullRequestNoBody("GET","/HTTPAuth/")
    if rest.LastMethodSuccess() != true {
        fmt.Println(rest.LastErrorText())
        rest.DisposeRest()
        return
    }

    // The start line of an HTTP response, called the status line, contains the following information:
    // 
    //     The protocol version, usually HTTP/1.1.
    //     A status code, indicating success or failure of the request. Common status codes are 200, 404, or 302
    //     A status text. A brief, purely informational, textual description of the status code to help a human understand the HTTP message.
    // 
    // A typical status line looks like: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found.

    // The ResponseStatusCode property contains the integer response code:
    fmt.Println("Response status code = ", rest.ResponseStatusCode())

    // The ResponseStatusText property contains the text (if any) that follows the status code on the status line.
    fmt.Println("Response status text = ", rest.ResponseStatusText())

    // In this case, the sample output is:
    // 
    // Response status code = 401
    // Response status text = Unauthorized

    rest.DisposeRest()
