Send a REST Request using StringBuilder Bodies

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.FullRequestSb, which sends a complete request whose text body is read from a StringBuilder and stores the text response body in a second StringBuilder.

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
}

#  FullRequestSb sends a request whose text body is read from a StringBuilder and stores the text
#  response body in a second StringBuilder.  This avoids extra string conversions for large bodies.
$sbRequest = New-Object Chilkat.StringBuilder
$sbRequest.Append("{ `"query`": `"chilkat`" }")

$rest.AddHeader("Content-Type","application/json")

$sbResponse = New-Object Chilkat.StringBuilder
$success = $rest.FullRequestSb("POST","/api/search",$sbRequest,$sbResponse)
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($rest.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

$responseText = $sbResponse.GetAsString()
if ($sbResponse.LastMethodSuccess -eq $false) {
    $($sbResponse.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

$($responseText)
