Dim http As New Chilkat.Http
Dim success As Boolean

' Demonstrate sending a GET request with query parameters.
Dim queryParams As New Chilkat.JsonObject
queryParams.UpdateInt("limit",100)
queryParams.UpdateString("email","joe@example.com")
queryParams.UpdateString("token","VGhlIHF1aWNrIGJyb3duIGZveCBqdW1wZWQgb3ZlciB0aGUgbGF6eSBkb2cuLi4=")

' Set a session log filename so we can examine the exact request that is sent.
Dim sessionLogPath As String = "qa_output/sessionLog.txt"
http.SessionLogFilename = sessionLogPath

' Send the GET request to an endpoint.  We don't care about the response. The purpose of this example
' is to see the exact HTTP request that is sent..
Dim resp As Chilkat.HttpResponse = http.QuickRequestParams("GET","https://www.chilkatsoft.com/echoPostBody.asp",queryParams)
If (http.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If



Dim fac As New Chilkat.FileAccess
Dim sessionLog As String = fac.ReadEntireTextFile(sessionLogPath,"utf-8")
Debug.WriteLine(sessionLog)
success = fac.FileDelete(sessionLogPath)

' This is the exact GET request that was sent.
' Notice how each query parameter is URL encoded and added to the HTTP start line of the request.

' GET /echoPostBody.asp?limit=100&email=joe%40example.com&token=VGhlIHF1aWNrIGJyb3duIGZveCBqdW1wZWQgb3ZlciB0aGUgbGF6eSBkb2cuLi4%3D HTTP/1.1
