CkoHttp *http = [[CkoHttp alloc] init];

// Specifiy a session log file so we can see the exact request/response
http.SessionLogFilename = @"c:/aaworkarea/sessionLog.txt";

// Perhaps add a custom header or two..
[http SetRequestHeader: @"x-exz-date" value: @"20201012T235046Z"];

// Send a GET request to https://www.example.com/someting?param1=123&param2=abc
NSString *url = @"https://www.example.com/someting?param1=123&param2=abc";
CkoHttpResponse *resp = [http QuickRequest: @"GET" url: url];
if (http.LastMethodSuccess == NO) {
    NSLog(@"%@",http.LastErrorText);
    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
int statusCode = [resp.StatusCode intValue];
NSLog(@"%@%d",@"Response status: ",statusCode);

// Get the response body
NSLog(@"%@",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.Accept = @"application/json";
http.AllowGzip = NO;

// Send a DELETE request to https://www.example.com/deleteSomething
url = @"https://www.example.com/deleteSomething";
resp = [http QuickRequest: @"DELETE" url: url];
if (http.LastMethodSuccess == NO) {
    NSLog(@"%@",http.LastErrorText);
    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 intValue];
NSLog(@"%@%d",@"Response status: ",statusCode);

// Get the response body
