Detailed Description

class to call the system REST API from the client library

Member Function Documentation

constructor() [1/2]

OMQ::Client::QorusSystemRestHelper::constructor	(	*hash	opts,
		*softbool	do_not_connect
	)

creates the object with the given options; a connection is automatically made unless the do_not_connect argument is False

Parameters

opts	options as follows: api_version: the REST API version (defaults to the latest version) connect_timeout: the connect timeout value in milliseconds timeout: the socket I/O timeout value in milliseconds url: the target URL
do_not_connect	if True, then the object will be created in an unconnected state

Since

Qorus 3.1.1 added the api_version option

constructor() [2/2]

OMQ::Client::QorusSystemRestHelper::constructor	(	string	name,
		*softbool	do_not_connect
	)

creates the object from the given remote connection name; a connection is automatically made unless the do_not_connect argument is False

Parameters

name	the remote connection name to use for the connection
do_not_connect	if True, then the object will be created in an unconnected state

del()

auto OMQ::Client::QorusSystemRestHelper::del	(	*hash	opt,
		string	path,
		auto	args,
		*hash	hdr,
		*reference	info
	)

issues an HTTP DELETE REST request against the server and returns the deserialized response

Parameters

opt	output options: lit: if True, outputs the literal response reformat: if True, outputs a reformatted response with verbose formatting (easier to read complex data structures)
path	the URI path for the request
args	any arguments to the REST request
hdr	a hash of optional HTTP header info to add to the request
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: "GET /services/async/38.0/job HTTP/1.1") body-content-type: the outgoing message body Mime Content-Type value response-headers: a hash of incoming HTTP headers in the response 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 RestClient::RestClient::DataSerializationOptions for possible values request-body: the raw message body in the request (before any content encoding) request-serialization: the type of message serialization in the request; see RestClient::RestClient::DataSerializationOptions for possible values

Returns

the deserialized response body

Since

Qorus 3.1.0.p11 added the info argument
