Disconnect from a REST Server

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.Disconnect, which closes the current HTTP connection. The argument is the maximum number of milliseconds to wait for the close to complete.

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
    }

    var responseText: String? = rest.fullRequestNoBody(httpVerb: "GET", uriPath: "/api/status")
    if rest.lastMethodSuccess == false {
        print("\(rest.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    print("\(responseText!)")

    //  Close the connection.  The argument is the maximum number of milliseconds to wait for the
    //  close to complete.
    var bDisconnected: Bool = rest.disconnect(maxWaitMs: 200)
    if bDisconnected != true {
        print("The disconnect did not complete within the wait time.")
    }

    print("Done.")
