Demonstrates Rest.Disconnect, which closes the current HTTP connection. The argument is the maximum number of milliseconds to wait for the close to complete.

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

local rest = chilkat.Rest.new()

-- Connect to the REST server.  The 3rd argument enables TLS (use true for HTTPS on port 443),
-- and the 4th enables automatic reconnection if the connection is dropped between requests.
local bTls = true
local bAutoReconnect = true
local success = rest:connect("example.com", 443, bTls, bAutoReconnect)
if not success then
    print(rest.last_error_text)
    return
end

local responseText = rest:full_request_no_body("GET", "/api/status")
if not rest.last_method_success then
    print(rest.last_error_text)
    return
end

print(responseText)

-- Close the connection.  The argument is the maximum number of milliseconds to wait for the
-- close to complete.
local bDisconnected = rest:disconnect(200)
if not bDisconnected then
    print("The disconnect did not complete within the wait time.")
end

print("Done.")
