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
