Send a Form-URL-Encoded REST Request

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.FullRequestFormUrlEncoded, which sends an application/x-www-form-urlencoded request. The body is built from the query parameters added to the object, and the response body is returned as text.

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
}

#  The application/x-www-form-urlencoded body is built from the query parameters added to the object.
$rest.AddQueryParam("username","alice")
$rest.AddQueryParam("action","login")

#  Send the form-url-encoded request.  The parameters become the request body rather than the URL
#  query string.
$responseText = $rest.FullRequestFormUrlEncoded("POST","/api/login")
if ($rest.LastMethodSuccess -eq $false) {
    $($rest.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

$($responseText)
