Add a Query Parameter to a REST Request

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.AddQueryParam, which adds or replaces a query-string parameter. The 1st argument is the parameter name and the 2nd is its value; Chilkat URL-encodes both as needed.

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 query-string parameters.  The 1st argument is the parameter name and the 2nd is its value.
    //  Chilkat automatically URL-encodes names and values as needed.
    rest.addQueryParam(name: "q", value: "chilkat rest")
    rest.addQueryParam(name: "limit", value: "10")

    //  For a GET request the parameters are appended to the URL query string.
    var responseText: String? = rest.fullRequestNoBody(httpVerb: "GET", uriPath: "/api/search")
    if rest.lastMethodSuccess == false {
        print("\(rest.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    print("\(responseText!)")
