Socket Convenience Method: BuildHttpGetRequest

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates the BuildHttpGetRequest method. Rust

// The BuildHttpGetRequest method is a convenience method for building
// an HTTP GET request.  Normally, an application would use Chilkat's HTTP or REST API's
// for sending HTTP requests.  

let socket = chilkat::Socket::new();

let url = "http://www.chilkatsoft.com/test.asp?x=123&y=456".to_string();
let mut req_str = socket.build_http_get_request(&url).unwrap_or_default();
println!("{}", req_str);
println!("----");

// The result is:

// 	GET /test.asp?x=123&y=456 HTTP/1.1
// 	Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
// 	Connection: keep-alive
// 	User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0
// 	Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5
// 	Host: www.chilkatsoft.com

// The result is meant to look like a request from a browser.

// The same thing can be done using the Url and HttpRequest classes, but with more flexibility.

let req = chilkat::HttpRequest::new();
req.set_from_url(&url);
req_str = req.generate_request_text().unwrap_or_default();
println!("{}", req_str);
println!("----");

// The result is:

// 	GET /test.asp?x=123&y=456 HTTP/1.1
// 	Host: domain

// Add some headers..
req.add_header("Host", "www.chilkatsoft.com");
req.add_header("Accept-Language", "en-us,en;q=0.5");
req.add_header("Some-Other-Header", "123456");

req_str = req.generate_request_text().unwrap_or_default();
println!("{}", req_str);

// The result is now:

// 	GET /test.asp?x=123&y=456 HTTP/1.1
// 	Host: www.chilkatsoft.com
// 	Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5
// 	Some-Other-Header: 123456
