' 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")

' Specifiy a session log file so we can see the exact request/response
http.SessionLogFilename = "c:/aaworkarea/sessionLog.txt"

' Perhaps add a custom header or two..
http.SetRequestHeader "x-exz-date","20201012T235046Z"
http.SetRequestHeader "x-exz-id","1234"

' Send a GET request to https://www.example.com/someting?param1=123&param2=abc
url = "https://www.example.com/someting?param1=123&param2=abc"
' resp is a Chilkat.HttpResponse
Set resp = http.QuickRequest("GET",url)
If (http.LastMethodSuccess = 0) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( http.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

' The GET request that is sent looks like this.
' The Accept and Accept-Encoding headers are automatically added by default.

' 	GET /someting?param1=123&param2=abc HTTP/1.1
' 	Host: www.example.com
' 	Accept: */*
' 	Accept-Encoding: gzip
' 	x-exz-date: 20201012T235046Z
' 	x-exz-id: 1234

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

' Get the response body
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( resp.BodyStr) & "</pre>"

' -------------------------------------------------------------
' Let's say we want to send a DELETE request, and we only want to accept an application/json response,
' and we don't want gzipped responses...

' First remove the previously specified custom headers.
http.ClearHeaders 

' Indicate we only accept application/json non-gzipped responses.
http.Accept = "application/json"
http.AllowGzip = 0

' Send a DELETE request to https://www.example.com/deleteSomething
url = "https://www.example.com/deleteSomething"
' resp is a Chilkat.HttpResponse
Set resp = http.QuickRequest("DELETE",url)
If (http.LastMethodSuccess = 0) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( http.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

' The DELETE request that is sent looks like this.
' The empty Accept-Encoding header value means we only want non-compressed responses.

' 	DELETE /deleteSomething HTTP/1.1
' 	Host: www.example.com
' 	Accept: application/json
' 	Accept-Encoding: 

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

' Get the response body
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( resp.BodyStr) & "</pre>"
