Add a Path Substitution Parameter to a REST Request

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.AddPathParam, which adds or replaces a path-substitution parameter. Before a request is sent, each occurrence of the name in the URI path is replaced with its 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 path-substitution parameters.  Before a request is sent, each occurrence of the name in the
# URI path is replaced with the value.  This keeps the path template readable.
$rest->AddPathParam('{userId}', '12345');
$rest->AddPathParam('{orderId}', '98765');

# The placeholders in the path are replaced before the request is sent.
my $responseText = $rest->FullRequestNoBody('GET', '/users/{userId}/orders/{orderId}');
if (!$rest->LastMethodSuccess) {
    print $rest->LastErrorText, "\n";
    exit;
}

print $responseText, "\n";
