Send a REST Request using StringBuilder Bodies

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.FullRequestSb, which sends a complete request whose text body is read from a StringBuilder and stores the text response body in a second StringBuilder.

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


'  FullRequestSb sends a request whose text body is read from a StringBuilder and stores the text
'  response body in a second StringBuilder.  This avoids extra string conversions for large bodies.
Dim sbRequest As New Chilkat.StringBuilder
sbRequest.Append("{ ""query"": ""chilkat"" }")

rest.AddHeader("Content-Type","application/json")

Dim sbResponse As New Chilkat.StringBuilder
success = rest.FullRequestSb("POST","/api/search",sbRequest,sbResponse)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


Dim responseText As String = sbResponse.GetAsString()
If (sbResponse.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(sbResponse.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If

Debug.WriteLine(responseText)
