<?php

// 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.  

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Socket')
$socket = new COM("Chilkat.Socket");

$url = 'http://www.chilkatsoft.com/test.asp?x=123&y=456';
$reqStr = $socket->buildHttpGetRequest($url);
print $reqStr . "\n";
print '----' . "\n";

// 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.

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.HttpRequest')
$req = new COM("Chilkat.HttpRequest");
$req->SetFromUrl($url);
$reqStr = $req->generateRequestText();
print $reqStr . "\n";
print '----' . "\n";

// 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();
print $reqStr . "\n";

// 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
