Rust Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Send XMLHttpRequest and Get Response

See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to send an HTTP XML request and retrieve the response. Rust

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

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

// The XML sent in the body of the request is application
// specified -- it should contain whatever the server-side
// application is expecting..
let xml_str = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><appXml><something>123</something></appXml>".to_string();

let url_endpoint = "http://www.chilkatsoft.com/xmlEcho.asp".to_string();
let xml_charset = "utf-8".to_string();

let resp = chilkat::HttpResponse::new();
if http.http_str("POST", &url_endpoint, &xml_str, &xml_charset, "application/xml", &resp).is_err() {
    println!("{}", http.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// The raw HTTP request sent by the above call is:

// POST /xmlEcho.asp HTTP/1.1
// Content-Type: text/xml
// Host: www.chilkatsoft.com
// Accept: */*
// Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*; q=0.7
// Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5
// Accept-Encoding: gzip
// Content-Length: 81
// 
// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><appXml><something>123</something></appXml>

// Examine the Body of the HTTP response
// This would be the XML response sent by the server.
println!("{}", resp.body_str());
