SendCustomRequest Method
Sends a custom request to the server.
Syntax
int SendCustomRequest(const QString& qsAction, const QString& qsBody);
Remarks
This method can be used to send arbitrary requests to the server. The value passed for the Action parameter must be one of the actions described in the Amazon Secrets Manager documentation.
When this method is called, the class does the following:
- Builds a request URL, including query parameters, based on the following:
- Region
- QueryParam*
- Adds request headers from OtherHeaders.
- Adds the specified request Body, if non-empty.
- Signs the request.
- Sends the request to the server.
- Stores the response headers in the ParsedHeader* properties; and the response body in the specified LocalFile or SecretData.
If the response body is JSON data, the XPath, XText, and other X* configuration settings can then be used to navigate and extract information from it.
Error Handling
This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
