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.

import { BinData, Rest, StringBuilder } from '@chilkat/react-native'

async function chilkatExample() {
  const rest = new Rest();
  const bTls = true;
  const bAutoReconnect = true;
  try {
    await rest.connectAsync('example.com', 443, bTls, bAutoReconnect);
  } catch {
    console.log(rest.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // 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.
  const bdRequest = new BinData();
  try {
    bdRequest.loadFile('qa_data/image.png');
  } catch {
    console.log('Failed to load the request body file.');
    return;
  }

  rest.addHeader('Content-Type', 'image/png');

  const sbResponse = new StringBuilder();
  try {
    await rest.fullRequestBdAsync('PUT', '/api/images/1', bdRequest, sbResponse);
  } catch {
    console.log(rest.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  let responseText: string;
  try {
    responseText = sbResponse.getAsString();
  } catch {
    console.log(sbResponse.lastErrorText);
    return;

  console.log(responseText);
