function clients_connection_drupal_services_rest_7::getXCSRFToken in Web Service Clients 7.3

Get the X-CSRF token.

This calls the remote site to get the token, and caches it, so that multiple requests made with the same connection don't need to retrieve it again.

This expects the 'user/token' action resource to be enabled on the endpoint. This only exists in Services 3.5 and later. We do not support earlier versions.

Return value

The X-CSRF token.

Throws

An exception if the remote site does not return a token.
