(Node.js) QuickGetObj Example

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

Install Chilkat for Node.js and Electron using npm at Chilkat npm packages for Node.js Chilkat npm packages for Electron on Windows, Linux, MacOS

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

    var http = new chilkat.Http();

    // Send a GET request to download a PDF into an HTTP response object.
    // resp: HttpResponse
    var 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.
        console.log(http.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    // Get the response status
    var statusCode = resp.StatusCode;
    console.log("Response status: " + 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.
