Socket Convenience Method: BuildHttpGetRequest

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates the BuildHttpGetRequest method. Dart

import 'package:chilkat/chilkat.dart';

void main() {
  // 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.  

  final socket = CkSocket();

  final url = 'http://www.chilkatsoft.com/test.asp?x=123&y=456';
  var reqStr = socket.buildHttpGetRequest(url);
  print(reqStr);
  print('----');

  // 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.

  final req = CkHttpRequest();
  req.setFromUrl(url);
  reqStr = req.generateRequestText();
  print(reqStr);
  print('----');

  // The result is:

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

  // Add some headers..
  req.addHeader('Host', 'www.chilkatsoft.com');
  req.addHeader('Accept-Language', 'en-us,en;q=0.5');
  req.addHeader('Some-Other-Header', '123456');

  reqStr = req.generateRequestText();
  print(reqStr);

  // 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
