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

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

// Specifiy a session log file so we can see the exact request/response
http.SessionLogFilename = "c:/aaworkarea/sessionLog.txt";

// Perhaps add a custom header or two..
http.SetRequestHeader("x-exz-date","20201012T235046Z");
http.SetRequestHeader("x-exz-id","1234");

// Send a GET request to https://www.example.com/someting?param1=123&param2=abc
string url = "https://www.example.com/someting?param1=123&param2=abc";
Chilkat.HttpResponse resp = http.QuickRequest("GET",url);
if (http.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// The GET request that is sent looks like this.
// The Accept and Accept-Encoding headers are automatically added by default.

// 	GET /someting?param1=123&param2=abc HTTP/1.1
// 	Host: www.example.com
// 	Accept: */*
// 	Accept-Encoding: gzip
// 	x-exz-date: 20201012T235046Z
// 	x-exz-id: 1234

// Get the response status
int statusCode = resp.StatusCode;
Debug.WriteLine("Response status: " + Convert.ToString(statusCode));

// Get the response body
Debug.WriteLine(resp.BodyStr);

// -------------------------------------------------------------
// Let's say we want to send a DELETE request, and we only want to accept an application/json response,
// and we don't want gzipped responses...

// First remove the previously specified custom headers.
http.ClearHeaders();

// Indicate we only accept application/json non-gzipped responses.
http.Accept = "application/json";
http.AllowGzip = false;

// Send a DELETE request to https://www.example.com/deleteSomething
url = "https://www.example.com/deleteSomething";
resp = http.QuickRequest("DELETE",url);
if (http.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// The DELETE request that is sent looks like this.
// The empty Accept-Encoding header value means we only want non-compressed responses.

// 	DELETE /deleteSomething HTTP/1.1
// 	Host: www.example.com
// 	Accept: application/json
// 	Accept-Encoding: 

// Get the response status
statusCode = resp.StatusCode;
Debug.WriteLine("Response status: " + Convert.ToString(statusCode));

// Get the response body
Debug.WriteLine(resp.BodyStr);
