request to the REST server and returns the response
path | the URI path to add (will be appended to any root path given in the constructor) |

: prefers in this order: json, yaml, rawxml, xml-rpc, url, and text"xml"
: use only XML-RPC serialization"rawxml"
: use raw XML serialization"json"
: use only JSON serialization"yaml"
: use only YAML serialization"xml"
: use only XML-RPC serialization"text"
: use only plain text. No serialization is used."bin"
: for binary message bodies without data serialization"url"
: for URL-encoded message bodies const RestClient::RestClient::EncodingSupport |
Send content encoding options.
Send content encoding options are as follows:
"bzip"
: use bzip2 compression"gzip"
: use gzip compression"deflate"
: use deflate compression"identity"
: use no content encoding
