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.

<?php

include("chilkat.php");

$success = false;

$rest = new CkRest();

//  Connect to the REST server.  The 3rd argument enables TLS (use true for HTTPS on port 443),
//  and the 4th enables automatic reconnection if the connection is dropped between requests.
$bTls = true;
$bAutoReconnect = true;
$success = $rest->Connect('example.com',443,$bTls,$bAutoReconnect);
if ($success == false) {
    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');

$responseText = $rest->fullRequestNoBody('GET','/api/data');
if ($rest->get_LastMethodSuccess() == false) {
    print $rest->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

print $responseText . "\n";
