(Ruby) Transition from Http.PostUrlEncoded to Http.HttpReq

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated PostUrlEncoded method calls with HttpReq.

Sends the following raw HTTP request:

POST /echoPost.asp HTTP/1.1
Host: www.chilkatsoft.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 50

company=example&ip=111.111.111.111&url=example.com

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'

success = false

http = Chilkat::CkHttp.new()

url = "https://www.chilkatsoft.com/echoPost.asp"

req = Chilkat::CkHttpRequest.new()
req.AddParam("company","example")
req.AddParam("ip","111.111.111.111")
req.AddParam("url","example.com")

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The PostUrlEncoded method is deprecated:

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

# ...
# ...

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

req2 = Chilkat::CkHttpRequest.new()
req2.AddParam("company","example")
req2.AddParam("ip","111.111.111.111")
req2.AddParam("url","example.com")

req2.put_HttpVerb("POST")
req2.put_ContentType("application/x-www-form-urlencoded")

resp = Chilkat::CkHttpResponse.new()
success = http.HttpReq(url,req2,resp)
if (success == false)
    print http.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# Results are contained in the HTTP response object...
