(Go) HTTP GET with utf-8 URL Encoded Query Params

Demonstrates how to build URLs where query param values can be either URL encoded from the utf-8 representation, or from another charset such as windows-1252.

Note: This example uses the new DecodeAndAppend method added in Chilkat v9.5.0.87.

    // We have the string "MÆRSK".

    // This is the URL encoding of the windows-1252 representation.
    nameWindows1252UrlEncoded := "M%C6RSK"

    sb1 := chilkat.NewStringBuilder()
    success := sb1.DecodeAndAppend(nameWindows1252UrlEncoded,"url","windows-1252")

    http := chilkat.NewHttp()

    // Here's how to send an HTTP GET where the param is the utf-8 representation that is URL encoded.
    // For example:  https://www.chilkatsoft.com/something?name=M%C3%A6RSK

    sbUrl := chilkat.NewStringBuilder()

    sbUrl.Append("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/something?name=")
    sbUrl.Append(*sb1.GetEncoded("url","utf-8"))
    fmt.Println(*sbUrl.GetAsString())

    responseBody := http.QuickGetStr(*sbUrl.GetAsString())

    // Here's how to send an HTTP GET where the param is the windows-1252 representation that is URL encoded.
    // For example:  https://www.chilkatsoft.com/something?name=M%E6RSK

    sbUrl.Clear()
    sbUrl.Append("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/something?name=")
    sbUrl.Append(*sb1.GetEncoded("url","windows-1252"))
    fmt.Println(*sbUrl.GetAsString())

    responseBody = http.QuickGetStr(*sbUrl.GetAsString())
