(PowerBuilder) QuickGetObj Example

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

integer li_rc
oleobject loo_Http
oleobject loo_Resp
integer li_StatusCode
integer li_Success

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

loo_Http = create oleobject
// Use "Chilkat_9_5_0.Http" for versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0
li_rc = loo_Http.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.Http")
if li_rc < 0 then
    destroy loo_Http
    MessageBox("Error","Connecting to COM object failed")
    return
end if

// Send a GET request to download a PDF into an HTTP response object.
loo_Resp = loo_Http.QuickGetObj("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/hello.pdf")
if loo_Http.LastMethodSuccess = 0 then
    // This will happen if the request could not be sent, or if no response was received.
    Write-Debug loo_Http.LastErrorText
    destroy loo_Http
    return
end if

// Get the response status
li_StatusCode = loo_Resp.StatusCode
Write-Debug "Response status: " + string(li_StatusCode)

// In this example, we want a 200 status code.
if li_StatusCode = 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.
    li_Success = loo_Resp.SaveBodyBinary("qa_output/hello.pdf")
    if li_Success = 0 then
        Write-Debug "Failed to write output file."
    else
        Write-Debug "Wrote hello.pdf"
    end if

else
    // Perhaps we have response body with an error message..
    Write-Debug loo_Resp.BodyStr

end if
