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

Dim rest As New Chilkat.Rest

// We're going to check https://authenticationtest.com/HTTPAuth/
Dim bTls As Boolean
bTls = True
Dim port As Int32
port = 443
Dim bAutoReconnect As Boolean
bAutoReconnect = True
Dim success As Boolean
success = rest.Connect("authenticationtest.com",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(rest.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Send a GET request
Dim responseText As String
responseText = rest.FullRequestNoBody("GET","/HTTPAuth/")
If (rest.LastMethodSuccess <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(rest.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// The start line of an HTTP response, called the status line, contains the following information:
// 
//     The protocol version, usually HTTP/1.1.
//     A status code, indicating success or failure of the request. Common status codes are 200, 404, or 302
//     A status text. A brief, purely informational, textual description of the status code to help a human understand the HTTP message.
// 
// A typical status line looks like: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found.

// The ResponseStatusCode property contains the integer response code:
System.DebugLog("Response status code = " + Str(rest.ResponseStatusCode))

// The ResponseStatusText property contains the text (if any) that follows the status code on the status line.
System.DebugLog("Response status text = " + rest.ResponseStatusText)

// In this case, the sample output is:
// 
// Response status code = 401
// Response status text = Unauthorized
