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.

Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

$success = $false

$rest = New-Object Chilkat.Rest
$bTls = $true
$bAutoReconnect = $true
$success = $rest.Connect("example.com",443,$bTls,$bAutoReconnect)
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($rest.LastErrorText)
    exit
}
