REST Upload Bandwidth Throttle

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates how to use upload bandwidth throttling with the REST API. This example will upload a file to Drobox using a file stream, with a limit on the bandwidth that can be used for the transfer. Objective-C

BOOL success = NO;

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

//  A Dropbox access token should have been previously obtained.
//  Dropbox access tokens do not expire.
//  See Dropbox Access Token.

//  To use bandwidth throttling, the connection should be made using the socket API.
//  This provides numerous properties to customize the connection, such as
//  BandwidthThrottleDown, BandwidthThrottleUp, ClientIpAddress, ClintPort, Http Proxy,
//  KeepAlive, PreferIpv6, RequireSslCertVerify, SoRcvBuf, SoSndBuf, SoReuseAddr,
//  SOCKS proxy, TcpNoSDelay, TlsPinSet, TlsCipherSuite, SslAllowedCiphers, etc.

CkoSocket *socket = [[CkoSocket alloc] init];
int maxWaitMs = 5000;
success = [socket Connect: @"content.dropboxapi.com" port: [NSNumber numberWithInt: 443] ssl: YES maxWaitMs: [NSNumber numberWithInt: maxWaitMs]];
if (success != YES) {
    NSLog(@"%@",socket.LastErrorText);
    NSLog(@"%@%d",@"Connect Fail Reason: ",[socket.ConnectFailReason intValue]);
    return;
}

//  Set the upload bandwidth throttle rate to 50000 bytes per second.
socket.BandwidthThrottleUp = [NSNumber numberWithInt:50000];

CkoRest *rest = [[CkoRest alloc] init];

//  Tell the REST object to use the connected socket.
[rest UseConnection: socket autoReconnect: YES];

//  The remainder of this example is identical to the example at:
//  Dropbox File Stream Upload.

//  Add request headers.
[rest AddHeader: @"Content-Type" value: @"application/octet-stream"];
[rest AddHeader: @"Authorization" value: @"Bearer DROPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN"];

//  The upload "parameters" contained in JSON passed in an HTTP request header.
//  This is the JSON to be added in this example:
//  { 
//     "path": "/Homework/lit/hamlet.xml",
//     "mode": "add",
//     "autorename": true,
//     "mute": false

//  Almost ready to go...
//  Let's setup a file stream to point to a file.
CkoStream *fileStream = [[CkoStream alloc] init];
fileStream.SourceFile = @"qa_data/xml/hamlet.xml";

//  Do the upload.  The URL is https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload.
//  We already connected to content.dropboxapi.com using TLS (i.e. HTTPS),
//  so now we only need to specify the path "/2/files/upload".

//  Note: The file is streamed directly from disk.  (The entire
//  file will not be loaded into memory.)
NSString *responseStr = [rest FullRequestStream: @"POST" uriPath: @"/2/files/upload" stream: fileStream];
if (rest.LastMethodSuccess == NO) {
    NSLog(@"%@",rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  When successful, Dropbox responds with a 200 response code.
if ([rest.ResponseStatusCode intValue] != 200) {
    //  Examine the request/response to see what happened.
    NSLog(@"%@%d",@"response status code = ",[rest.ResponseStatusCode intValue]);
    NSLog(@"%@%@",@"response status text = ",rest.ResponseStatusText);
    NSLog(@"%@%@",@"response header: ",rest.ResponseHeader);

    NSLog(@"%@%@",@"LastRequestStartLine: ",rest.LastRequestStartLine);
    NSLog(@"%@%@",@"LastRequestHeader: ",rest.LastRequestHeader);
    return;

//  The response is JSON.
CkoJsonObject *jsonResp = [[CkoJsonObject alloc] init];
jsonResp.EmitCompact = NO;
[jsonResp Load: responseStr];

//  Show the JSON response.
NSLog(@"%@",[jsonResp Emit]);

//  Returns JSON that looks like this:
//  {

//    "path_lower": "/homework/lit/hamlet.xml",
//    "path_display": "/Homework/lit/hamlet.xml",

//    "rev": "9482db15f",
//    "size": 279658
//  }

//  Sample code to get data from the JSON response:
int size = [[jsonResp IntOf: @"size"] intValue];
NSLog(@"%@%d",@"size = ",size);
