(Mono C#) QuickGetObj Example

The QuickGetObj method is called to send a GET request and receive the response as an HttpResponse object.

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

Chilkat.Http http = new Chilkat.Http();

// Send a GET request to download a PDF into an HTTP response object.
Chilkat.HttpResponse resp = http.QuickGetObj("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/hello.pdf");
if (http.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    // This will happen if the request could not be sent, or if no response was received.
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Get the response status
int statusCode = resp.StatusCode;
Debug.WriteLine("Response status: " + Convert.ToString(statusCode));

// In this example, we want a 200 status code.
if (statusCode == 200) {
    // 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.
    bool success = resp.SaveBodyBinary("qa_output/hello.pdf");
    if (success == false) {
        Debug.WriteLine("Failed to write output file.");
    }
    else {
        Debug.WriteLine("Wrote hello.pdf");
    }

}
else {
    // Perhaps we have response body with an error message..
    Debug.WriteLine(resp.BodyStr);
