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 Boolean = False

Dim rest As New Chilkat.Rest
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


'  The application/x-www-form-urlencoded body is built from the query parameters added to the object.
rest.AddQueryParam("username","alice")
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 = rest.FullRequestFormUrlEncoded("POST","/api/login")
If (rest.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If

Debug.WriteLine(responseText)
