(PowerShell) Load XML Object from HTTP Response Body

Demonstrates how to load the HTTP response body directly into an XML object.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.89 or greater because it uses the GetBodyXml method. Prior to v9.5.0.89, and application would need to first copy the HTTP response body to a Chilkat StringBuilder object by calling GetBodySb, and then load the Xml object by calling Xml.LoadSb.

$http = New-Object Chilkat.Http

$resp = $http.PText("GET","https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampledata/inventory.xml","","","",$false,$false)
if ($http.LastMethodSuccess -eq $false) {
    $($http.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

$xml = New-Object Chilkat.Xml

# If we wish to transfer (instead of copy) the XML from the HttpResponse to the Xml, then add the keyword "TakeResponseBody" to UncommonOptions
# This could save memory for extremely large XML responses.
$resp.UncommonOptions = "TakeResponseBody"

$resp.GetBodyXml($xml)

$($xml.GetXml())

# Note: If UncommonOptions contained "TakeResponseBody", then the response BodyStr will now be empty:
$("----")
$($resp.BodyStr)
