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

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

' Send a GET request to download a PDF into an HTTP response object.
' resp is a Chilkat.HttpResponse
Set resp = http.QuickGetObj("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/hello.pdf")
If (http.LastMethodSuccess = 0) Then
    ' This will happen if the request could not be sent, or if no response was received.
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( http.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

' Get the response status
statusCode = resp.StatusCode
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "Response status: " & statusCode) & "</pre>"

' In this example, we want a 200 status code.
If (statusCode = 200) Then
    ' Save the response body to a file.
    ' Note: This is only for the sake of this example.
    ' It's better to call the Download method to download directly to a file.
    success = resp.SaveBodyBinary("qa_output/hello.pdf")
    If (success = 0) Then
        Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "Failed to write output file.") & "</pre>"
    Else
        Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "Wrote hello.pdf") & "</pre>"
    End If

Else
    ' Perhaps we have response body with an error message..
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( resp.BodyStr) & "</pre>"
