The QuickGetStr method is the simplest way to retrieve a text resource from a web server using an HTTP GET request. The text resource can be HTML, XML, JSON, text, or anything other type of file composed of readable text.

PowerShell

Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

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

$http = New-Object Chilkat.Http

# Send the HTTP GET and return the content in a string.
$str = $http.QuickGetStr("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/helloWorld.json")
if ($http.LastMethodSuccess -eq $false) {
    $($http.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

$str = $http.QuickGetStr("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/helloWorld.txt")
