Socket Convenience Method: BuildHttpGetRequest

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates the BuildHttpGetRequest method. AutoIt

; The BuildHttpGetRequest method is a convenience method for building
; an HTTP GET request.  Normally, an application would use Chilkat's HTTP or REST API's
; for sending HTTP requests.  

$oSocket = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Socket")

Local $sUrl = "http://www.chilkatsoft.com/test.asp?x=123&y=456"
Local $sReqStr = $oSocket.BuildHttpGetRequest($sUrl)
ConsoleWrite($sReqStr & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("----" & @CRLF)

; The result is:

; 	GET /test.asp?x=123&y=456 HTTP/1.1
; 	Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
; 	Connection: keep-alive
; 	User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0
; 	Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5
; 	Host: www.chilkatsoft.com

; The result is meant to look like a request from a browser.

; The same thing can be done using the Url and HttpRequest classes, but with more flexibility.

$oReq = ObjCreate("Chilkat.HttpRequest")
$oReq.SetFromUrl $sUrl
$sReqStr = $oReq.GenerateRequestText()
ConsoleWrite($sReqStr & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("----" & @CRLF)

; The result is:

; 	GET /test.asp?x=123&y=456 HTTP/1.1
; 	Host: domain

; Add some headers..
$oReq.AddHeader "Host","www.chilkatsoft.com"
$oReq.AddHeader "Accept-Language","en-us,en;q=0.5"
$oReq.AddHeader "Some-Other-Header","123456"

$sReqStr = $oReq.GenerateRequestText()
ConsoleWrite($sReqStr & @CRLF)

; The result is now:

; 	GET /test.asp?x=123&y=456 HTTP/1.1
; 	Host: www.chilkatsoft.com
; 	Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5
; 	Some-Other-Header: 123456
