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

Chilkat.Http http = new Chilkat.Http();

// Send the following CURL request:   curl -H 'accept: application/dns-json' 'https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query?name=chilkat.io&type=A'

http.Accept = "application/dns-json";

string url = "https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query?name=chilkat.io&type=A";

string jsonResp = await http.QuickGetStrAsync(url);

    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText);
    return;

Debug.WriteLine("Response Status Code: " + Convert.ToString(http.LastStatus));

Chilkat.JsonObject json = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
json.Load(jsonResp);
