(Chilkat2-Python) Load XML Object from HTTP Response Body

Demonstrates how to load the HTTP response body directly into an XML object.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.89 or greater because it uses the GetBodyXml method. Prior to v9.5.0.89, and application would need to first copy the HTTP response body to a Chilkat StringBuilder object by calling GetBodySb, and then load the Xml object by calling Xml.LoadSb.

import sys
import chilkat2

http = chilkat2.Http()

# resp is a CkHttpResponse
resp = http.PText("GET","https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampledata/inventory.xml","","","",False,False)
if (http.LastMethodSuccess == False):
    print(http.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

xml = chilkat2.Xml()

# If we wish to transfer (instead of copy) the XML from the HttpResponse to the Xml, then add the keyword "TakeResponseBody" to UncommonOptions
# This could save memory for extremely large XML responses.
resp.UncommonOptions = "TakeResponseBody"

resp.GetBodyXml(xml)

print(xml.GetXml())

# Note: If UncommonOptions contained "TakeResponseBody", then the response BodyStr will now be empty:
print("----")
print(resp.BodyStr)
