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

include("chilkat.php");

$success = false;

$rest = new CkRest();
$bTls = true;
$bAutoReconnect = true;
$success = $rest->Connect('example.com',443,$bTls,$bAutoReconnect);
if ($success == false) {
    print $rest->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

//  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.

//  FullRequestBd sends a request whose binary body is read from a BinData and stores the text
//  response body in a StringBuilder.
$bdRequest = new CkBinData();
$bLoaded = $bdRequest->LoadFile('qa_data/image.png');
if ($bLoaded != true) {
    print 'Failed to load the request body file.' . "\n";
    exit;
}

$rest->AddHeader('Content-Type','image/png');

$sbResponse = new CkStringBuilder();
$success = $rest->FullRequestBd('PUT','/api/images/1',$bdRequest,$sbResponse);
if ($success == false) {
    print $rest->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

$responseText = $sbResponse->getAsString();
if ($sbResponse->get_LastMethodSuccess() == false) {
    print $sbResponse->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

print $responseText . "\n";
