ExecRequest

# Documentation for the ExecRequest utility

## Introduction

Part of the .NET release is a handy utility, called ExecRequest. It allows you to query, update, delete and insert items into a feed, using programmatic login or web application login. ExecRequest, including Web Application Login, is part of the .NET library with version 1.1.0.0.

## Details

ExecRequest.exe is located in the same directory where the other sample applications and libraries are, normally in the clients/cs/lib/release directory.

If you start ExecRequest with no parameters it will give you a short help description on how it should get started. Let's look at this in more detail.

### Programmatic login

`usage: ExecRequest <service> <cmd> <uri> <username> <password>`

where cmd is QUERY, UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE

Example:

`ExecRequest cl QUERY http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/private/default joe@gmail.com mypassword`

This would query the default feed for user Joe, given his password and output the resulting XML to the console.

`> ExecRequest cl INSERT http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/private/default joe@gmail.com mypassword < myentry.xml`

This would try to insert the XML in file myentry.xml into the default feed for user Joe.

### Web application login

`>ExecRequest <service> <cmd> <uri> /a <sessiontoken>`

This form, similiar to programmatic login, would use an already existing session token for Web Application login instead of username and password.

`ExecRequest <service> <cmd> <uri> /e <onetimetoken>`

This form, would use a one time token, exchange it for a session token (while echoing that back to the screen for savekeeping) and use that session token for Web Application login instead of username and password.
