Demonstrates the BuildHttpGetRequest method. Java

import com.chilkatsoft.*;

public class ChilkatExample {

  static {
    try {
        System.loadLibrary("chilkat");
    } catch (UnsatisfiedLinkError e) {
      System.err.println("Native code library failed to load.\n" + e);
      System.exit(1);
    }
  }

  public static void main(String argv[])
  {
    //  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.  

    CkSocket socket = new CkSocket();

    String url = "http://www.chilkatsoft.com/test.asp?x=123&y=456";
    String reqStr = socket.buildHttpGetRequest(url);
    System.out.println(reqStr);
    System.out.println("----");

    //  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.

    CkHttpRequest req = new CkHttpRequest();
    req.SetFromUrl(url);
    reqStr = req.generateRequestText();
    System.out.println(reqStr);
    System.out.println("----");

    //  The result is:

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

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

    reqStr = req.generateRequestText();
    System.out.println(reqStr);

    //  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
