// Send a GET request to download a PDF into an HTTP response object.
resp := http.QuickGetObj('https://www.chilkatsoft.com/hello.pdf');

// Get the response status
statusCode := resp.StatusCode;
Memo1.Lines.Add('Response status: ' + IntToStr(statusCode));

// In this example, we want a 200 status code.
if (statusCode = 200) then
  begin
    // Save the response body to a file.
    // Note: This is only for the sake of this example.
    // It's better to call the Download method to download directly to a file.
    success := resp.SaveBodyBinary('qa_output/hello.pdf');
    if (success = 0) then
      begin
        Memo1.Lines.Add('Failed to write output file.');
