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

$http = New-Object Chilkat.Http

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

# Get the response status
$statusCode = $resp.StatusCode
$("Response status: " + $statusCode)

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

}
else {
    # Perhaps we have response body with an error message..
    $($resp.BodyStr)
