void ChilkatSample(void)

    CkString strOut;

    // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    CkHttp http;

    // Set the SessionLogFilename property so that the Chilkat HTTP component
    // logs the exact HTTP requests and responses to a file.

    // The SessionLogFilename may be used with any of the HTTP
    // methods for sending GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, HEAD, etc.
    http.put_SessionLogFilename("c:/temp/httpSessionLog.txt");

    // Try a simple HTTP GET and then examine the session log:
    const char *html = http.quickGetStr("http://www.chilkatsoft.com/httpTest/abc.html");
    if (http.get_LastMethodSuccess() != true) {
        strOut.append(http.lastErrorText());
        strOut.append("\r\n");
        SetDlgItemText(IDC_EDIT1,strOut.getUnicode());
        return;
    }

    // The contents of the session log file after doing 
    // the GET request:

    // 	---- Sending ----
