SendCustomRequest Method

Sends a custom request to the server.

Syntax

public void sendCustomRequest(String httpMethod, String objectName, String requestBody);

Remarks

This method can be used to send arbitrary requests to the server.

Valid values for HttpMethod are:

  • GET (default if empty)
  • HEAD
  • POST
  • PUT
  • DELETE

The ObjectName and RequestBody parameters may be empty if not needed.

Usage

When this method is called, the class does the following:

  1. Builds a request URL, including query parameters, based on the following:
  2. Adds request headers from:
  3. Signs the request (unless the SignCustomRequest configuration setting is disabled).
  4. Sends the request, including RequestBody if non-empty.
  5. Stores the response headers in the ParsedHeaders collection; and the response body in the stream specified using SetDownloadStream, the specified LocalFile, or ObjectData (using the same logic as GetObject).

If the response body is XML data, the XPath, XText, and other X* configuration settings can then be used to navigate and extract information from it.
