Duplicate curl -u user:password with Chilkat HTTP

See more HTTP Misc Examples

Demonstrates how to duplicate a curl command that uses the -u username:password option. (This assumes HTTP Basic Authentication, and Chilkat requires Basic authentication to be over a TLS connection.)

Duplicates the following curl command:

curl https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -H "Accept-Language: en_US" \
  -u "Client-Id:Secret" \
  -d "grant_type=client_credentials"

Perl

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

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

$http = chilkat::CkHttp->new();
$req = chilkat::CkHttpRequest->new();

# The AddHeader method corresponds to the curl "-H" argument.
$req->AddHeader("Accept","application/json");
$req->AddHeader("Accept-Language","en_US");

# The curl "-d" argument specifies the HTTP request body.  In this case,
# we're sending an application/x-www-form-urlencoded request, and therefore
# the body contains the URL-encoded query parameters.
$req->AddParam("grant_type","client_credentials");

$http->put_Login("PAYPAL_REST_API_CLIENT_ID");
$http->put_Password("PAYPAL_REST_API_SECRET");

# Sends a POST request where the Content-Type is application/x-www-form-urlencoded
$req->put_HttpVerb("POST");
$req->put_ContentType("application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

$resp = chilkat::CkHttpResponse->new();
$success = $http->HttpReq("https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token",$req,$resp);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $http->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

if ($resp->get_StatusCode() != 200) {
    print "Error status code: " . $resp->get_StatusCode() . "\r\n";
    print $resp->bodyStr() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# The JSON response is in the resp BodyStr property
print $resp->bodyStr() . "\r\n";
print "-- Success." . "\r\n";
