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.

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

    let rest = CkoRest()!
    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
    }

    //  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 bdRequest = CkoBinData()!
    var bLoaded: Bool = bdRequest.loadFile(path: "qa_data/image.png")
    if bLoaded != true {
        print("Failed to load the request body file.")
        return
    }

    rest.addHeader(name: "Content-Type", value: "image/png")

    let sbResponse = CkoStringBuilder()!
    success = rest.fullRequestBd(httpVerb: "PUT", uriPath: "/api/images/1", binData: bdRequest, responseBody: sbResponse)
    if success == false {
        print("\(rest.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    var responseText: String? = sbResponse.getAsString()
    if sbResponse.lastMethodSuccess == false {
        print("\(sbResponse.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    print("\(responseText!)")
