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

' Create a URL with URL-encoded query params.
' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.StringBuilder")
set sbUrl = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.StringBuilder")
success = sbUrl.Append("https://www.example.com/something?")

' If we know a query param value does not have any special chars requiring URL encoding,
' just add it.  In this case, there is no need to URL encode "123" because "123" url encoded is still just "123".
success = sbUrl.Append("abc=123&xyz=")

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.StringBuilder")
set sbValue = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.StringBuilder")
success = sbValue.Append("this is a test")

success = sbUrl.Append("msg=")
success = sbUrl.Append(sbValue.GetEncoded("url","utf-8"))

' sbUrl contains:  https://www.example.com/something?abc=123&xyz=msg=this%20is%20a%20test

' Send the GET request and get the response body, which is assumed to be text of some sort (HTML, XML, JSON, etc.)
