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

' This example duplicates the following CURL statement provided in the hotelbeds.com "Getting Started"
' developer documentation:

' #!/bin/bash 
' apiKey="yourApiKey"
' secret="yourSecret"
' curl -i \
'   -X GET \
'   -H 'Accept:application/json' \
'   -H 'Api-key:'$apiKey'' \
'   -H 'X-Signature:'$(echo -n ${apiKey}${secret}$(date +%s)|sha256sum|awk '{ print $1}')'' \
'   https://api.test.hotelbeds.com/hotel-api/1.0/status

' The "date + %s" command emits a UNIX date/time number such as 1605548842
' We need to concatenate the apiKey, secret, and current date/time in UNIX (numeric) time format.
' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.CkDateTime")
set dt = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.CkDateTime")
success = dt.SetFromCurrentSystemTime()
' Get the UNIX time string in the GMT timezone.
bLocalTime = 0
unixTimeStr = dt.GetAsUnixTimeStr(bLocalTime)
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( unixTimeStr) & "</pre>"

' Use your own API key and secret.  (These are not valid values)
apiKey = "227b20a2cb705e45f3b0a0944672dc07"
secret = "54dc7ba9e2"

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.StringBuilder")
set sb = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.StringBuilder")
success = sb.Append(apiKey)
success = sb.Append(secret)
success = sb.Append(unixTimeStr)

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Crypt2")
set crypt = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.Crypt2")
crypt.HashAlgorithm = "sha256"
crypt.EncodingMode = "hexlower"
signature = crypt.HashStringENC(sb.GetAsString())

Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( signature) & "</pre>"

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Http")
set http = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.Http")

http.SetRequestHeader "Accept","application/json"
http.SetRequestHeader "Api-key",apiKey
http.SetRequestHeader "X-Signature",signature

jsonResponse = http.QuickGetStr("https://api.test.hotelbeds.com/hotel-api/1.0/status")
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( jsonResponse) & "</pre>"
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( http.LastStatus) & "</pre>"

' Sample output:
