Send a REST Request using StringBuilder Bodies

See more REST Examples

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

<?php

$success = 0;

$rest = new COM("Chilkat.Rest");
$bTls = 1;
$bAutoReconnect = 1;
$success = $rest->Connect('example.com',443,$bTls,$bAutoReconnect);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $rest->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

//  FullRequestSb sends a request whose text body is read from a StringBuilder and stores the text
//  response body in a second StringBuilder.  This avoids extra string conversions for large bodies.
$sbRequest = new COM("Chilkat.StringBuilder");
$sbRequest->Append('{ \'query\': \'chilkat\' }');

$rest->AddHeader('Content-Type','application/json');

$sbResponse = new COM("Chilkat.StringBuilder");
$success = $rest->FullRequestSb('POST','/api/search',$sbRequest,$sbResponse);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $rest->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

$responseText = $sbResponse->getAsString();
if ($sbResponse->LastMethodSuccess == 0) {
    print $sbResponse->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

print $responseText . "\n";
