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
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

//  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
success = sbRequest.Append("{ ""query"": ""chilkat"" }")

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

Dim sbResponse As New Chilkat.StringBuilder
success = rest.FullRequestSb("POST","/api/search",sbRequest,sbResponse)
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(rest.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

Dim responseText As String
responseText = sbResponse.GetAsString()
If (sbResponse.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(sbResponse.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

System.DebugLog(responseText)
