(Ruby) Transition from Http.PostJson to Http.HttpStr

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated PostJson method calls with HttpStr.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

Chilkat Ruby Downloads install from rubygems.org gem install chilkat or download... Ruby Library for Windows, MacOS, Linux, Alpine Linux

require 'chilkat'

http = Chilkat::CkHttp.new()

url = "https://example.com/something"
jsonText = "{ ... }"

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The PostJson method is deprecated:

# responseObj is a CkHttpResponse
responseObj = http.PostJson(url,jsonText)
if (http.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false)
    print http.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# ...
# ...

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Do the equivalent using HttpStr.
# Your application creates a new, empty HttpResponse object which is passed 
# in the last argument and filled upon success.

responseOut = Chilkat::CkHttpResponse.new()
success = http.HttpStr("POST",url,jsonText,"utf-8","application/json",responseOut)
if (success == false)
    print http.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end
