Rust

QuickDeleteStr Example

Sends a DELETE request to a URL. The URL can potentially include params, and custom request headers can be added. Rust

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

let http = chilkat::Http::new();
let mut status_code: i32 = 0;

// Specifiy a session log file so we can see the exact request/response
http.set_session_log_filename("c:/aaworkarea/sessionLog.txt");

// Perhaps add a custom header or two..
http.set_request_header("x-exz-date", "20201012T235046Z");
http.set_request_header("x-exz-id", "1234");

// Send a DELETE request to https://www.example.com/someting?param1=123&param2=abc
let url = "https://www.example.com/someting?param1=123&param2=abc".to_string();
let Ok(reponse_body_str) = http.quick_delete_str(&url) else {
    // This will happen if the response status code was 400 or greater,
    // or if the request could not be sent, or if no response was received.
    status_code = http.last_status();
    println!("Response status: {}", status_code);

    if status_code == 0 {
        // There was an error in communications.  
        println!("{}", http.last_error_text());
    } else {
        // We received a response status code indicating failure.
        // Examine the response body.
        println!("{}", http.last_response_body());
    }

    return;
};

// The DELETE request that is sent looks like this.
// The Accept and Accept-Encoding headers are automatically added by default.

// 	DELETE /someting?param1=123&param2=abc HTTP/1.1
// 	Host: www.example.com
// 	Accept: */*
// 	Accept-Encoding: gzip
// 	x-exz-date: 20201012T235046Z
// 	x-exz-id: 1234

// Get the response status
status_code = http.last_status();
println!("Response status: {}", status_code);

// Show the response body
println!("{}", reponse_body_str);
