Send HTTPS Get Without Waiting for the Response

See more REST Examples

This example demonstrates sending an HTTP GET request without waiting for the response. Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

    // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    let rest = CkoRest()!

    // Connect to the server using TLS
    var bAutoReconnect: Bool = false
    success = rest.connect(hostname: "example.com", port: 443, tls: true, autoReconnect: bAutoReconnect)
    if success == false {
        print("\(rest.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Send a GET request to https://example.com/some/path 
    success = rest.sendReqNoBody(httpVerb: "GET", uriPath: "/some/path")
    if success == false {
        print("\(rest.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // OK, the request was sent.
    // Close the connection.
    var maxWaitMs: Int = 50
    rest.disconnect(maxWaitMs: maxWaitMs)

    print("GET Request Sent.")
