Add a Path Substitution Parameter to a REST Request

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.AddPathParam, which adds or replaces a path-substitution parameter. Before a request is sent, each occurrence of the name in the URI path is replaced with its value.

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

    let rest = CkoRest()!

    //  Connect to the REST server.  The 3rd argument enables TLS (use true for HTTPS on port 443),
    //  and the 4th enables automatic reconnection if the connection is dropped between requests.
    var bTls: Bool = true
    var bAutoReconnect: Bool = true
    success = rest.connect(hostname: "example.com", port: 443, tls: bTls, autoReconnect: bAutoReconnect)
    if success == false {
        print("\(rest.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    //  Add path-substitution parameters.  Before a request is sent, each occurrence of the name in the
    //  URI path is replaced with the value.  This keeps the path template readable.
    rest.addPathParam(name: "{userId}", value: "12345")
    rest.addPathParam(name: "{orderId}", value: "98765")

    //  The placeholders in the path are replaced before the request is sent.
    var responseText: String? = rest.fullRequestNoBody(httpVerb: "GET", uriPath: "/users/{userId}/orders/{orderId}")
    if rest.lastMethodSuccess == false {
        print("\(rest.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    print("\(responseText!)")
