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

    let http = CkoHttp()!

    // Send a GET request to download a PDF into an HTTP response object.
    var resp: CkoHttpResponse? = http.quickGetObj("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/hello.pdf")
    if http.lastMethodSuccess == false {
        // This will happen if the request could not be sent, or if no response was received.
        print("\(http.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Get the response status
    var statusCode: Int = resp!.statusCode.intValue
    print("Response status: \(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.
        var success: Bool = resp!.saveBodyBinary("qa_output/hello.pdf")
        if success == false {
            print("Failed to write output file.")

        else {
            print("Wrote hello.pdf")

        // Perhaps we have response body with an error message..
        print("\(resp!.bodyStr!)")

    }

    resp = nil
