(JavaScript) Client Certificate in REST

Demonstrates how to use a client certificate with a REST connection.

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.

// This example shows how to use the Chilkat socket object's connection.
var rest = new CkRest();
var socket = new CkSocket();

// Set the certificate to be used for mutual TLS authentication
// (i.e. sets the client-side certificate for two-way TLS authentication)
// Note: There are other ways to set the client certificate using Chilkat.
// For example, on Windows systems, a Chilkat certificate object could be loaded with certificate
// pre-installed (with private key) in a Windows certificate store, and then socket.SetSslClientCert could be called.
success = socket.SetSslClientCertPfx("/home/bob/pfxFiles/myClientSideCertWithPrivateKey.pfx","pfxPassword");
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Note: The certificate used for the client-side of TLS mutual authentication
// must have the associated private key available. (.pfx/.p12 files typically store both
// the certificate and associated private key.)

// Establish the connection using the socket object (with client certificate authentication).
var bTls = true;
var port = 443;
var maxWaitMs = 5000;
success = socket.Connect("www.example.com",port,bTls,maxWaitMs);
if (success !== true) {
    console.log("Connect Failure Error Code: " + socket.ConnectFailReason);
    console.log(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

var bAutoReconnect = true;

// Use the connection:
success = rest.UseConnection(socket,bAutoReconnect);
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// At this point we are connected and can make REST calls...
// For example..
var responseJson = rest.FullRequestNoBody("GET","/someQuery");
if (rest.LastMethodSuccess !== true) {
    console.log(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}
