HTTPS GET - Download HTML or any Text Content to a String

See more HTTP Examples

The QuickGetStr method is the simplest way to retrieve a text resource from a web server using an HTTP GET request. The text resource can be HTML, XML, JSON, text, or anything other type of file composed of readable text.

Go

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

    http := chilkat.NewHttp()

    // Send the HTTP GET and return the content in a string.
    str := http.QuickGetStr("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/helloWorld.json")
    if http.LastMethodSuccess() == false {
        fmt.Println(http.LastErrorText())
        http.DisposeHttp()
        return
    }

    fmt.Println(*str)

    str = http.QuickGetStr("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/helloWorld.txt")
    fmt.Println(*str)

    str = http.QuickGetStr("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/helloWorld.xml")
    fmt.Println(*str)

    http.DisposeHttp()
