The following code uses Stingray's RESTful API to delete a pool. The code is written in PHP and uses STMRESTClient. This program deletes the "phptest" pool created by the addpool.php example. To delete a resource you do a HTTP DELETE on the URI for the resource. If the delete is successful a 204 HTTP status code will be returned.
deletepool.php
<?php
# Delete a pool
require_once 'stmrestclient.inc';
$poolName = 'phptest';
try {
# Set up the connection
$client = new STMRestClient();
/* Check to see if the pool exists. If it doesn't exist, then a
* ResourceNotFoundException exception will be thrown. */
$response = $client->get("pools/$poolName");
$client->delete("pools/$poolName");
print("Pool $poolName deleted");
} catch (STMResourceNotFoundException $e) {
# The pool doesn't exist
print("Pool $poolName not found");
} catch (STMConnectException $e) {
print ("Error connecting to the REST API: " . $e->getMessage());
} catch (STMAuthException $e) {
print ("Error logging into the REST API: " . $e->getMessage());
} catch (Exception $e) {
print ('Error: ' . $e->getMessage());
}
print("</body></html>\n");
?>
