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 strict;
use warnings;
use Chilkat2;

my $rest = Chilkat2::Rest->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.
my $bTls = 1;
my $bAutoReconnect = 1;
my $success = $rest->Connect('example.com', 443, $bTls, $bAutoReconnect);
if (!$success) {
    print $rest->LastErrorText, "\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');

my $responseText = $rest->FullRequestNoBody('GET', '/api/data');
if (!$rest->LastMethodSuccess) {
    print $rest->LastErrorText, "\n";
    exit;
}

print $responseText, "\n";
