Rust Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Example: Http.HttpFile method

Shows how to use the HttpFile method to send an HTTP POST request with the contents of a file as the request body. The example sends the following request:

POST /api/v1/sites/123/deploys HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
Accept: */*
Accept-Encoding: gzip
Content-Type: application/zip
Content-Length: 123456

[binary data bytes of data.zip]

Rust

let http = chilkat::Http::new();

let local_file_path = "C:/example/zips/data.zip".to_string();
let url = "https://example.com/api/v1/sites/123/deploys".to_string();

// Send a POST with the contents of the file in the binary HTTP request body.
let resp = chilkat::HttpResponse::new();
if http.http_file("POST", &url, &local_file_path, "application/zip", &resp).is_err() {
    println!("{}", http.last_error_text());
    return;
}

println!("Response Status Code: {}", resp.status_code());
println!("Response body:");
println!("{}", resp.body_str());
