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

http = chilkat.CkHttp()

# Send a GET request to download a PDF into an HTTP response object.
# resp is a CkHttpResponse
resp = http.QuickGetObj("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/hello.pdf")
if (http.get_LastMethodSuccess() == False):
    # This will happen if the request could not be sent, or if no response was received.
    print(http.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# Get the response status
statusCode = resp.get_StatusCode()
print("Response status: " + str(statusCode))

# In this example, we want a 200 status code.
if (statusCode == 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 == False):
        print("Failed to write output file.")
    else:
        print("Wrote hello.pdf")

else:
    # Perhaps we have response body with an error message..
    print(resp.bodyStr())
