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.

#include <CkRestW.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    CkRestW rest;
    bool bTls = true;
    bool bAutoReconnect = true;
    success = rest.Connect(L"example.com",443,bTls,bAutoReconnect);
    if (success == false) {
        wprintf(L"%s\n",rest.lastErrorText());
        return;
    }

    //  The application/x-www-form-urlencoded body is built from the query parameters added to the object.
    rest.AddQueryParam(L"username",L"alice");
    rest.AddQueryParam(L"action",L"login");

    //  Send the form-url-encoded request.  The parameters become the request body rather than the URL
    //  query string.
    const wchar_t *responseText = rest.fullRequestFormUrlEncoded(L"POST",L"/api/login");
    if (rest.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false) {
        wprintf(L"%s\n",rest.lastErrorText());
        return;
    }

    wprintf(L"%s\n",responseText);
    }
