(VBScript) QuickGetObj Example

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

Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create a Unicode (utf-16) output text file.
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True, True)

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

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Http")
set http = CreateObject("Chilkat.Http")

' Send a GET request to download a PDF into an HTTP response object.
' resp is a Chilkat.HttpResponse
Set resp = http.QuickGetObj("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/hello.pdf")
If (http.LastMethodSuccess = 0) Then
    ' This will happen if the request could not be sent, or if no response was received.
    outFile.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

' Get the response status
statusCode = resp.StatusCode
outFile.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.
    success = resp.SaveBodyBinary("qa_output/hello.pdf")
    If (success = 0) Then
        outFile.WriteLine("Failed to write output file.")
    Else
        outFile.WriteLine("Wrote hello.pdf")
    End If

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

End If


outFile.Close
