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

loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')

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

loHttp.Accept = "application/dns-json"

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

lcJsonResp = loHttp.QuickGetStr(lcUrl)
IF (loHttp.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText

ENDIF

? "Response Status Code: " + STR(loHttp.LastStatus)

loJson.Load(lcJsonResp)

? loJson.Emit()

IF (loHttp.LastStatus <> 200) THEN
    ? "Failed."
    RELEASE loHttp
