(JavaScript) HTTP POST JSON (application/json)

Demonstrates how to send a JSON POST using the application/json content-type.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

var success = false;

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

var req = new CkHttpRequest();
var http = new CkHttp();

// If any custom headers need to be included with the POST, add them
// by calling SetRequestHeader

// Note: An application should never explicitly set the Content-Length header.
// The Content-Length is automatically computed and added by Chilkat.

// Here are some examples of custom headers.  

// Perhaps your particular app needs some sort of custom-computed Authorization header...
http.SetRequestHeader("Authorization","my-custom-computed-auth-value");

// Another custom header for some hypothetical app:
http.SetRequestHeader("X-Pass-Timestamp","my-custom-computed-timestamp-value");

// The following "Accept" header may be set, but it really isn't necessary:
http.SetRequestHeader("Accept","application/json");

var jsonText = "{ some JSON text ... }";

// To use SSL/TLS, simply use "https://" in the URL.

var resp = new CkHttpResponse();
success = http.HttpStr("POST","http://www.someserver.com/someJsonEndpoint",jsonText,"utf-8","application/json",resp);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Display the JSON response.
console.log(resp.BodyStr);
