Add a Request Header to a REST Request

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.AddHeader, which adds an HTTP request header field. The 1st argument is the field name and the 2nd is the value. Adding a header whose name already exists replaces the previous value.

    var success = false;

    var rest = new chilkat.Rest();

    //  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.
    var bTls = true;
    var bAutoReconnect = true;
    success = rest.Connect("example.com",443,bTls,bAutoReconnect);
    if (success == false) {
        console.log(rest.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    //  Add request header fields.  The 1st argument is the field name and the 2nd is the value.
    //  Adding a header with a name that already exists replaces the previous value.
    rest.AddHeader("Accept","application/json");
    rest.AddHeader("X-Custom-Header","example-value");
