Send a Form-URL-Encoded REST Request

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.FullRequestFormUrlEncoded, which sends an application/x-www-form-urlencoded request. The body is built from the query parameters added to the object, and the response body is returned as text.

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 application/x-www-form-urlencoded body is built from the query parameters added to the object.
rest.AddQueryParam("username","alice")
rest.AddQueryParam("action","login")

#  Send the form-url-encoded request.  The parameters become the request body rather than the URL
#  query string.
responseText = rest.fullRequestFormUrlEncoded("POST","/api/login")
if (rest.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false)
    print rest.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

print responseText + "\n";
