Add a Query Parameter from a StringBuilder

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.AddQueryParamSb, which adds or replaces a query parameter whose value is read from a StringBuilder. The 1st argument is the name and the 2nd is the StringBuilder.

Background. This variant is convenient when the parameter value has already been assembled in a StringBuilder, avoiding an extra conversion to a plain string.

Perl
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);

#  The parameter value can also be supplied from a StringBuilder.  The 1st argument is the name and
#  the 2nd is the StringBuilder holding the value.
$sbValue = chilkat::CkStringBuilder->new();
$sbValue->Append("chilkat rest");
