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.

require 'chilkat'

success = false

rest = Chilkat::CkRest.new()
bTls = true
bAutoReconnect = true
success = rest.Connect("example.com",443,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
if (success == false)
    print rest.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

#  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.
bdRequest = Chilkat::CkBinData.new()
bLoaded = bdRequest.LoadFile("qa_data/image.png")
if (bLoaded != true)
    print "Failed to load the request body file." + "\n";
    exit
end

rest.AddHeader("Content-Type","image/png")

sbResponse = Chilkat::CkStringBuilder.new()
success = rest.FullRequestBd("PUT","/api/images/1",bdRequest,sbResponse)
if (success == false)
    print rest.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

responseText = sbResponse.getAsString()
if (sbResponse.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false)
    print sbResponse.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

print responseText + "\n";
