Go Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

HTTP Methods - GET and DELETE

Demonstrate a method for sending HTTP requests that don't have a request body, such as for GET or DELETE requests. Go

    success := false

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

    http := chilkat.NewHttp()

    //  Specifiy a session log file so we can see the exact request/response
    http.SetSessionLogFilename("c:/aaworkarea/sessionLog.txt")

    //  Perhaps add a custom header or two..
    http.SetRequestHeader("x-exz-date","20201012T235046Z")
    http.SetRequestHeader("x-exz-id","1234")

    //  Send a GET request to https://www.example.com/someting?param1=123&param2=abc
    url := "https://www.example.com/someting?param1=123&param2=abc"
    resp := chilkat.NewHttpResponse()
    success = http.HttpNoBody("GET",url,resp)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(http.LastErrorText())
        http.DisposeHttp()
        resp.DisposeHttpResponse()
        return
    }

    //  The GET request that is sent looks like this.
    //  The Accept and Accept-Encoding headers are automatically added by default.

    //  	GET /someting?param1=123&param2=abc HTTP/1.1
    //  	Host: www.example.com
    //  	Accept: */*
    //  	Accept-Encoding: gzip
    //  	x-exz-date: 20201012T235046Z
    //  	x-exz-id: 1234

    //  Get the response status
    statusCode := resp.StatusCode()
    fmt.Println("Response status: ", statusCode)

    //  Get the response body
    fmt.Println(resp.BodyStr())

    //  -------------------------------------------------------------
    //  Let's say we want to send a DELETE request, and we only want to accept an application/json response,
    //  and we don't want gzipped responses...

    //  First remove the previously specified custom headers.
    http.ClearHeaders()

    //  Indicate we only accept application/json non-gzipped responses.
    http.SetAccept("application/json")
    http.SetAllowGzip(false)

    //  Send a DELETE request to https://www.example.com/deleteSomething
    url = "https://www.example.com/deleteSomething"
    success = http.HttpNoBody("DELETE",url,resp)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(http.LastErrorText())
        http.DisposeHttp()
        resp.DisposeHttpResponse()
        return
    }

    //  The DELETE request that is sent looks like this.
    //  The empty Accept-Encoding header value means we only want non-compressed responses.

    //  	DELETE /deleteSomething HTTP/1.1
    //  	Host: www.example.com
    //  	Accept: application/json
    //  	Accept-Encoding: 

    //  Get the response status
    statusCode = resp.StatusCode()
    fmt.Println("Response status: ", statusCode)

    //  Get the response body
    fmt.Println(resp.BodyStr())

    http.DisposeHttp()
    resp.DisposeHttpResponse()
