Detailed Description

this class provides the REST client API

Member Function Documentation

◆ addDefaultHeaders()

RestClient::RestClient::addDefaultHeaders ( hash< auto > h )

adds default headers to each request; these headers will be sent in all requests but can be overridden in requests as well

Example:: # disable gzip and bzip encoding in responses

rest.addDefaultHeaders({"Accept-Encoding": "compress"});

Parameters

h	a hash of headers to add to the default headers to send on each request

Note: default headers can also be set in the constructor

See also: RestClient::getDefaultHeaders()

Since: RestClient 1.3

◆ clearConnectionPath()

RestClient::RestClient::clearConnectionPath ( )

Clears the connection path when a validator is present that manages the URI path.

Called from the constructor when a REST validator is present that manages the URI path

◆ constructor()

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

calls the base class HTTPClient constructor and optionally connects to the REST server

Example:: RestClient rest({"url": "http://localhost:8001/rest"});

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 can accept 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 ));
connect_timeout: The timeout value in milliseconds for establishing a new socket connection (also can be a relative date-time value for clarity, ex: 20s)
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 "auto"
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' 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 no content-encoding on sent message bodies (note that the RestClient class will only compress outgoing message bodies over CompressionThreshold bytes in size)
swagger: the path to a Swagger 2.0 REST schema file for API validation; only used if validator not provided (see the Swagger module)
swagger_base_path: in case a REST validator is used, the base path in the schema can be overridden with this option (applies to any REST validator; not just Swagger validators)
timeout: The timeout value in milliseconds (also can be a relative date-time value for clarity, ex: 30s)
url: A string giving the URL to connect to; if not given then the target URL will be taken from any validator option, if given by calling AbstractRestSchemaValidator::getTargetUrl()
validator: an AbstractRestSchemaValidator object to validate request and response messages; overrides swagger
no_charset: if True no charset will be added to the Content-Type header

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

Since

RestClient 1.2 the send_encoding option was added
RestClient 1.4 the validator and swagger options were added

◆ del()

hash< auto > RestClient::RestClient::del	(	string	path,
		auto	body,
		*reference< hash< auto > >	info,
		*hash< auto >	hdr
	)

sends an HTTP DELETE request to the REST server and returns the response

Example:: hash<auto> ans = rest.del("/orders/1");

Parameters

path	the URI path to add (will be appended to any root path given in the constructor)
body	an optional message body to be included in the request; if a value for this parameter is passed to the method, then the body will be serialized according to the serialization rules set in RestClient::constructor()
info	an optional reference to a hash that will be used as an output variable giving a hash of request headers and other information about the HTTP request; if present the hash will contain the following keys: `headers:` a hash of outgoing HTTP request headers `request-uri`: the request URI string sent (ex: `"DELETE /services/async/38.0/job HTTP/1.1"`) `body-content-type`: the outgoing message body Mime `Content-Type` value `response-headers`: a hash of processed incoming HTTP headers in the response with keys converted to lower case and additional information added `response-headers-raw`: a hash of raw unprocessed incoming HTTP headers `chunked:` set to True if the response was received with chunked transfer encoding `response-code`: the HTTP response code `response-body`: the raw message body in the response (after any content decoding) `response-serialization`: the type of message serialization in the response; see DataSerializationOptions for possible values when used with the null REST schema validator `request-body`: the raw message body in the request (before any content encoding) `request-serialization`: the type of message serialization in the request; see DataSerializationOptions for possible values when used with the null REST schema validator
hdr	any headers to be sent with the request; headers here will override default headers for the object as well

Returns: A hash of headers received from the HTTP server with all key names converted to lower-case; if any message body is included in the response, it will be deserialized to Qore data and assigned to the value of the "body" key

Exceptions

DESERIALIZATION-ERROR the response body could not be deserialized (unknown Content-Type or invalid serialization)

REST-RESPONSE-ERROR

if this exception is thrown by the Qore::HTTPClient::send() call in case of an HTTP response code < 100 or >= 300, the message body is still deserialized if possible and the response information can be retrieved in the info hash output keys as follows:

"response-code": the HTTP response code given
"response-headers": a hash of processed response headers
"response-headers-raw": a hash of raw unprocessed response headers
"response-body": the decoded response body

Note that this exception is not raised for HTTP status codes indicating an error if the error_passthru option is set to True

Other exceptions can be thrown by the Qore::HTTPClient::send() call used to make the HTTP request.
