Detailed Description

this class provides the REST client API for communication with Sewio.net's RTLS Studio servers

This class requires the following options for Sewio.net's RTLS Studio authentication and authorization to the target server:

• apikey: the Sewio.net's RTLS Studio API key

Member Function Documentation

constructor()

SewioRestClient::SewioRestClient::constructor	(	hash< auto >	opts,
		*softbool	do_not_connect
	)

creates the object with the given options (which include the mandatory apikey option for Sewio.net's RTLS Studio server authentication)

Example:

SewioRestClient rest(("url": "http://rtlsstudio.com/sensmapserver", "apikey": apikey));

Parameters

opts

valid options are: additional_methods: Optional hash with more but not-HTTP-standardized methods to handle. It allows to create various HTTP extensions like e.g. WebDAV. The hash takes the method name as a key, and the value is a boolean True or False: indicating if the method requires a message body as well. Example: # add new HTTP methods for WebDAV. Both of them require body posting to the server ("additional_methods": ("PROPFIND": True, "MKCOL": True )); apikey: (required) the Sewio.net's RTLS Studio api key for the target server content_encoding: for possible values, see EncodingSupport; this sets the send encoding (if the "send_encoding" option is not set) and the requested response encoding (note that the RestClient class will only compress outgoing message bodies over CompressionThreshold bytes in size) data: a data serialization option; if not present defaults to "json" default_path: The default path to use for new connections if a path is not otherwise specified in the connection URL default_port: The default port number to connect to if none is given in the URL error_passthru: if True then HTTP status codes indicating errors will not cause a REST-RESPONSE-ERROR exception to be raised, rather such responses will be passed through to the caller like any other response headers: an optional hash of headers to send with every request, these can also be overridden in request method calls http_version: Either '1.0' or '1.1' (default) for the claimed HTTP protocol version compliancy in outgoing message headers max_redirects: The maximum number of redirects before throwing an exception (the default is 5) proxy: The proxy URL for connecting through a proxy redirect_passthru: if True then redirect responses will be passed to the caller instead of processed send_encoding: a send data encoding option or the value "auto" which means to use automatic encoding; if not present defaults to "gzip" content encoding on sent message bodies (note that the RestClient class will only compress outgoing message bodies over CompressionThreshold bytes in size) timeout: The timeout value in milliseconds (also can be a relative date-time value for clarity, ex: 30s)

do_not_connect

if False (the default), then a connection will be immediately established to the remote server

Exceptions

RESTCLIENT-ERROR	invalid option passed to constructor, unsupported data serialization, etc
SEWIORESTCLIENT-ERROR	missing or invalid connection option
