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

http = Chilkat::CkHttp.new()

# To use HTTP Basic authentication:
http.put_Login("myLogin")
http.put_Password("myPassword")
http.put_BasicAuth(true)

# Run the test using this URL with the credentials above.  
# (Works while httpbin.org keeps the test endpoint available.)
jsonResponse = http.quickGetStr("https://httpbin.org/basic-auth/myLogin/myPassword")
if (http.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false)
    print http.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

print "Response status code: " + http.get_LastStatus().to_s() + "\n";

print jsonResponse + "\n";

# Output:

# Response status code: 200
# {
#   "authenticated": true, 
#   "user": "myLogin"
# }
