Send a REST Request with a Binary Body

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.FullRequestBd, which sends a complete request whose binary body is read from a BinData and stores the text response body in a StringBuilder.

The file paths are relative to the application's current working directory. Absolute paths may also be used. Supply the paths appropriate to your own environment.

<?php

use Chilkat2\BinData;
use Chilkat2\Rest;
use Chilkat2\StringBuilder;

$rest = new Rest();
$bTls = true;
$bAutoReconnect = true;
try {
    $rest->Connect('example.com', 443, $bTls, $bAutoReconnect);
} catch (\Chilkat2\Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage(), "\n";
    exit;
}

// The file paths are relative to the application's current working directory.  Absolute paths

// FullRequestBd sends a request whose binary body is read from a BinData and stores the text
// response body in a StringBuilder.
