Send a REST Request with a Binary Body

See more REST Examples

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

The file paths are relative to the application's current working directory. Absolute paths may also be used. Supply the paths appropriate to your own environment.

let rest = chilkat::Rest::new();
let b_tls = true;
let b_auto_reconnect = true;
if rest.connect("example.com", 443, b_tls, b_auto_reconnect).is_err() {
    println!("{}", rest.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// The file paths are relative to the application's current working directory.  Absolute paths
// may also be used.  Supply the paths appropriate to your own environment.

// FullRequestBd sends a request whose binary body is read from a BinData and stores the text
// response body in a StringBuilder.
let bd_request = chilkat::BinData::new();
if bd_request.load_file("qa_data/image.png").is_err() {
    println!("Failed to load the request body file.");
    return;
}

let _ = rest.add_header("Content-Type", "image/png");

let sb_response = chilkat::StringBuilder::new();
if rest.full_request_bd("PUT", "/api/images/1", &bd_request, &sb_response).is_err() {
    println!("{}", rest.last_error_text());
    return;
}

let Ok(response_text) = sb_response.get_as_string() else {
    println!("{}", sb_response.last_error_text());
    return;
};

println!("{}", response_text);
