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.

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

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

#  Connect to the REST server.  The 3rd argument enables TLS (use 1 for HTTPS on port 443),
#  and the 4th enables automatic reconnection if the connection is dropped between requests.
$bTls = 1;
$bAutoReconnect = 1;
$success = $rest->Connect("example.com",443,$bTls,$bAutoReconnect);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $rest->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

#  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");

$responseText = $rest->fullRequestNoBody("GET","/api/data");
if ($rest->get_LastMethodSuccess() == 0) {
    print $rest->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

print $responseText . "\r\n";
