Send a REST Request with a Binary Body

See more REST Examples

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

The file paths are relative to the application's current working directory. Absolute paths may also be used. Supply the paths appropriate to your own environment.

Dim success As Boolean
success = False

Dim rest As New Chilkat.Rest
Dim bTls As Boolean
bTls = True
Dim bAutoReconnect As Boolean
bAutoReconnect = True
success = rest.Connect("example.com",443,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(rest.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If
