Send a REST Request using StringBuilder Bodies

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.FullRequestSb, which sends a complete request whose text body is read from a StringBuilder and stores the text response body in a second StringBuilder.

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

#  FullRequestSb sends a request whose text body is read from a StringBuilder and stores the text
#  response body in a second StringBuilder.  This avoids extra string conversions for large bodies.
sbRequest = Chilkat::CkStringBuilder.new()
sbRequest.Append("{ \"query\": \"chilkat\" }")

rest.AddHeader("Content-Type","application/json")

sbResponse = Chilkat::CkStringBuilder.new()
success = rest.FullRequestSb("POST","/api/search",sbRequest,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";
