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.

    puts [CkRest_lastErrorText $rest]
    delete_CkRest $rest
    exit
}

#  The application/x-www-form-urlencoded body is built from the query parameters added to the object.
CkRest_AddQueryParam $rest "username" "alice"
CkRest_AddQueryParam $rest "action" "login"

#  Send the form-url-encoded request.  The parameters become the request body rather than the URL
#  query string.
