Send a Form-URL-Encoded REST Request

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.FullRequestFormUrlEncoded, which sends an application/x-www-form-urlencoded request. The body is built from the query parameters added to the object, and the response body is returned as text.

use strict;
use warnings;
use Chilkat2;

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

# The application/x-www-form-urlencoded body is built from the query parameters added to the object.
$rest->AddQueryParam('username', 'alice');
$rest->AddQueryParam('action', 'login');

# Send the form-url-encoded request.  The parameters become the request body rather than the URL
# query string.
my $responseText = $rest->FullRequestFormUrlEncoded('POST', '/api/login');
if (!$rest->LastMethodSuccess) {
    print $rest->LastErrorText, "\n";
    exit;
}

print $responseText, "\n";
