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

http = chilkat.CkHttp()

# 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:
html = http.quickGetStr("http://www.chilkatsoft.com/httpTest/abc.html")
if (http.get_LastMethodSuccess() != True):
    print(http.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

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

# 	---- Sending ----
# 	GET /httpTest/abc.html HTTP/1.1
# 	Accept: */*
# 	Accept-Encoding: gzip
# 	Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7
