Send a REST Request with a Text Body

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.FullRequestString, a convenience method that sends a complete request whose text body (such as JSON, XML, or plain text) is supplied directly, then reads and returns the response body 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;
    }

    //  Send a complete request whose text body is supplied directly, such as JSON.  The response body is
    //  read as text and returned.  The 1st argument is the HTTP verb, the 2nd is the URI path, and the
    //  3rd is the request body.
    rest.AddHeader(L"Content-Type",L"application/json");

    const wchar_t *jsonBody = L"{ \"name\": \"example\", \"active\": true }";
    const wchar_t *responseText = rest.fullRequestString(L"POST",L"/api/items",jsonBody);
    if (rest.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false) {
        wprintf(L"%s\n",rest.lastErrorText());
        return;
    }

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