The QuickGetObj method is called to send a GET request and receive the response as an HttpResponse object.

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

http = Chilkat::CkHttp.new()

# 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() + "\n";
    exit
end

# Get the response status
statusCode = resp.get_StatusCode()
print "Response status: " + statusCode.to_s() + "\n";

# 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." + "\n";
    else
        print "Wrote hello.pdf" + "\n";
    end

else
    # Perhaps we have response body with an error message..
    print resp.bodyStr() + "\n";
