Send a Form-URL-Encoded REST Request

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.FullRequestFormUrlEncoded, which sends an application/x-www-form-urlencoded request. The body is built from the query parameters added to the object, and the response body is returned as text.

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 application/x-www-form-urlencoded body is built from the query parameters added to the object.
    rest.addQueryParam(name: "username", value: "alice")
    rest.addQueryParam(name: "action", value: "login")

    //  Send the form-url-encoded request.  The parameters become the request body rather than the URL
    //  query string.
    var responseText: String? = rest.fullRequestFormUrlEncoded(httpVerb: "POST", uriPath: "/api/login")
    if rest.lastMethodSuccess == false {
        print("\(rest.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    print("\(responseText!)")
