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.

Dim success As Long
success = 0

Dim rest As New ChilkatRest
Dim bTls As Long
bTls = 1
Dim bAutoReconnect As Long
bAutoReconnect = 1
success = rest.Connect("example.com",443,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print rest.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

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

'  Send the form-url-encoded request.  The parameters become the request body rather than the URL
'  query string.
Dim responseText As String
responseText = rest.FullRequestFormUrlEncoded("POST","/api/login")
If (rest.LastMethodSuccess = 0) Then
    Debug.Print rest.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

Debug.Print responseText
