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

loHttp = createobject("CkHttp")

// Send a GET request to download a PDF into an HTTP response object.
loResp = loHttp.QuickGetObj("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/hello.pdf")
if (loHttp.LastMethodSuccess = .F.) then
    // This will happen if the request could not be sent, or if no response was received.
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    release loHttp
    return
endif

// Get the response status
lnStatusCode = loResp.StatusCode
? "Response status: " + str(lnStatusCode)

// In this example, we want a 200 status code.
if (lnStatusCode = 200) then
    // Save the response body to a file.
    // Note: This is only for the sake of this example.
    // It's better to call the Download method to download directly to a file.
    llSuccess = loResp.SaveBodyBinary("qa_output/hello.pdf")
    if (llSuccess = .F.) then
        ? "Failed to write output file."
    else
        ? "Wrote hello.pdf"
    endif

else
    // Perhaps we have response body with an error message..
    ? loResp.BodyStr

endif
