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

Dim http As New Chilkat.Http

' Send a GET request to download a PDF into an HTTP response object.
Dim resp As Chilkat.HttpResponse = http.QuickGetObj("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/hello.pdf")
If (http.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    ' This will happen if the request could not be sent, or if no response was received.
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' Get the response status
Dim statusCode As Integer = resp.StatusCode
Debug.WriteLine("Response status: " & statusCode)

' In this example, we want a 200 status code.
If (statusCode = 200) Then
    ' 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.
    Dim success As Boolean = resp.SaveBodyBinary("qa_output/hello.pdf")
    If (success = False) Then
        Debug.WriteLine("Failed to write output file.")
    Else
        Debug.WriteLine("Wrote hello.pdf")
    End If



Else
    ' Perhaps we have response body with an error message..
    Debug.WriteLine(resp.BodyStr)

End If
