Disconnect from a REST Server

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.Disconnect, which closes the current HTTP connection. The argument is the maximum number of milliseconds to wait for the close to complete.

Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim rest As New Chilkat.Rest

'  Connect to the REST server.  The 3rd argument enables TLS (use True for HTTPS on port 443),
'  and the 4th enables automatic reconnection if the connection is dropped between requests.
Dim bTls As Boolean = True
Dim bAutoReconnect As Boolean = True
success = rest.Connect("example.com",443,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


Dim responseText As String = rest.FullRequestNoBody("GET","/api/status")
If (rest.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If

Debug.WriteLine(responseText)

'  Close the connection.  The argument is the maximum number of milliseconds to wait for the
'  close to complete.
Dim bDisconnected As Boolean = rest.Disconnect(200)
If (bDisconnected <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine("The disconnect did not complete within the wait time.")
End If

Debug.WriteLine("Done.")
