Socket Convenience Method: BuildHttpGetRequest

Demonstrates the BuildHttpGetRequest method. Visual FoxPro

LOCAL loSocket
LOCAL lcUrl
LOCAL lcReqStr
LOCAL loReq

*  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.  

loSocket = CreateObject('Chilkat.Socket')

lcUrl = "http://www.chilkatsoft.com/test.asp?x=123&y=456"
lcReqStr = loSocket.BuildHttpGetRequest(lcUrl)
? lcReqStr
? "----"

*  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.

loReq = CreateObject('Chilkat.HttpRequest')
loReq.SetFromUrl(lcUrl)
lcReqStr = loReq.GenerateRequestText()
? lcReqStr
? "----"

*  The result is:

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

*  Add some headers..
loReq.AddHeader("Host","www.chilkatsoft.com")
loReq.AddHeader("Accept-Language","en-us,en;q=0.5")
loReq.AddHeader("Some-Other-Header","123456")

lcReqStr = loReq.GenerateRequestText()
? lcReqStr

*  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
