Add a Request Header to a REST Request

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.AddHeader, which adds an HTTP request header field. The 1st argument is the field name and the 2nd is the value. Adding a header whose name already exists replaces the previous value.

const std = @import("std");
const chilkat = @import("chilkat");

pub fn main(init: std.process.Init) !void {
    const alloc = init.arena.allocator();

    const rest = try chilkat.Rest.init();
    defer rest.deinit();

    // Connect to the REST server.  The 3rd argument enables TLS (use true for HTTPS on port 443),
    // and the 4th enables automatic reconnection if the connection is dropped between requests.
    const b_tls = true;
    const b_auto_reconnect = true;
    rest.connect("example.com", 443, b_tls, b_auto_reconnect) catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try rest.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };

    // Add request header fields.  The 1st argument is the field name and the 2nd is the value.
    // Adding a header with a name that already exists replaces the previous value.
    rest.addHeader("Accept", "application/json") catch {};
    rest.addHeader("X-Custom-Header", "example-value") catch {};

    const response_text = rest.fullRequestNoBody(alloc, "GET", "/api/data") catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try rest.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };

    std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{response_text});
}
