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

# Create a URL with URL-encoded query params.
sbUrl = Chilkat::CkStringBuilder.new()
sbUrl.Append("https://www.example.com/something?")

# If we know a query param value does not have any special chars requiring URL encoding,
# just add it.  In this case, there is no need to URL encode "123" because "123" url encoded is still just "123".
sbUrl.Append("abc=123&xyz=")

sbValue = Chilkat::CkStringBuilder.new()
sbValue.Append("this is a test")

sbUrl.Append("msg=")
sbUrl.Append(sbValue.getEncoded("url","utf-8"))

# sbUrl contains:  https://www.example.com/something?abc=123&xyz=msg=this%20is%20a%20test
print sbUrl.getAsString() + "\n";

# Send the GET request and get the response body, which is assumed to be text of some sort (HTML, XML, JSON, etc.)
# (Chilkat automatically decompresses gzipped responses)
http = Chilkat::CkHttp.new()
responseBody = http.quickGetStr(sbUrl.getAsString())
if (http.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false)
    print http.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit

print "Response Body:" + "\n";
print responseBody + "\n";
