Examine HTTP Response Status Code and Text

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates how to examine the HTTP response status code and text when using the REST object. PowerBuilder

integer li_Success

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

loo_Rest = create oleobject
li_rc = loo_Rest.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.Rest")
if li_rc < 0 then
    destroy loo_Rest
    MessageBox("Error","Connecting to COM object failed")

// We're going to check https://authenticationtest.com/HTTPAuth/
li_BTls = 1
li_Port = 443
li_BAutoReconnect = 1
li_Success = loo_Rest.Connect("authenticationtest.com",li_Port,li_BTls,li_BAutoReconnect)
if li_Success <> 1 then
    Write-Debug loo_Rest.LastErrorText
    destroy loo_Rest
    return
end if

// Send a GET request
ls_ResponseText = loo_Rest.FullRequestNoBody("GET","/HTTPAuth/")

// The start line of an HTTP response, called the status line, contains the following information:
// 
//     The protocol version, usually HTTP/1.1.
//     A status code, indicating success or failure of the request. Common status codes are 200, 404, or 302
//     A status text. A brief, purely informational, textual description of the status code to help a human understand the HTTP message.
// 
// A typical status line looks like: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found.

// The ResponseStatusCode property contains the integer response code:
Write-Debug "Response status code = " + string(loo_Rest.ResponseStatusCode)

// The ResponseStatusText property contains the text (if any) that follows the status code on the status line.
Write-Debug "Response status text = " + loo_Rest.ResponseStatusText

// In this case, the sample output is:
// 
// Response status code = 401
// Response status text = Unauthorized
