(JavaScript) Examine HTTP Response Status Code and Text

See more REST Examples

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 rest = new CkRest();

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

// Send a GET request
var responseText = rest.FullRequestNoBody("GET","/HTTPAuth/");
if (rest.LastMethodSuccess !== true) {
    console.log(rest.LastErrorText);
    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:
console.log("Response status code = " + rest.ResponseStatusCode);

// The ResponseStatusText property contains the text (if any) that follows the status code on the status line.
console.log("Response status text = " + rest.ResponseStatusText);

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