.NET Core C#

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

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

// Send the HTTP GET and return the content in a string.
string str = http.QuickGetStr("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/helloWorld.json");
if (http.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine(str);

str = http.QuickGetStr("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/helloWorld.txt");
Debug.WriteLine(str);

str = http.QuickGetStr("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/helloWorld.xml");
Debug.WriteLine(str);
