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 fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create a Unicode (utf-16) output text file.
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True, True)

success = 0

set rest = CreateObject("Chilkat.Rest")
bTls = 1
bAutoReconnect = 1
success = rest.Connect("example.com",443,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
If (success = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
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.
responseText = rest.FullRequestFormUrlEncoded("POST","/api/login")
If (rest.LastMethodSuccess = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

outFile.WriteLine(responseText)

outFile.Close
