POST JSON Without Waiting for the Response

See more REST Examples

This example demonstrates sending a POST w/ content-type "application/json" where the body of the POST contains a JSON document. The POST is sent, but we don't wait for the response. Perl

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

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

$rest = chilkat::CkRest->new();

# Connect to the server using TLS
$bAutoReconnect = 0;
$success = $rest->Connect("example.com",443,1,$bAutoReconnect);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $rest->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# Create some sample JSON to be sent in the body of the request.
$sbJson = chilkat::CkStringBuilder->new();
$sbJson->Append("{\"create\": [{\"name\": \"Woo Single #1\",\"type\": \"simple\",\"regular_price\": \"21.99\"}]}");

# Add the Content-Type HTTP request header.
$rest->AddHeader("Content-Type","application/json");

# Just send the request.  Don't read the response.
# The request is sent to https://example.com/something?arg1=xyz&arg2=abc
$somePath = "/something?arg1=xyz&arg2=abc";
$success = $rest->SendReqSb("POST",$somePath,$sbJson);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $rest->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# OK, the request was sent.
# Close the connection.
$maxWaitMs = 50;
$rest->Disconnect($maxWaitMs);

print "JSON POST Sent." . "\r\n";
