Chilkat.Http http = new Chilkat.Http();

bool success;

//  Any string unlocks the component for the 1st 30-days.
success = http.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial");
if (success != true) {
    MessageBox.Show(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  The Cookie header field has this format:
//  Cookie: name1=value1 [; name2=value2] ...

//  Build an HTTP GET request:
Chilkat.HttpRequest request = new Chilkat.HttpRequest();
request.SetFromUrl("http://www.example-code.com/");
request.UseGet();

//  Add two cookies:
request.AddHeader("Cookie","user=\"mary\"; city=\"Chicago\"");

//  Send the HTTP GET.  The cookies are sent as part of the HTTP header.
Chilkat.HttpResponse response = null;
string domain;
domain = "www.example-code.com";
int port;
port = 80;
bool ssl;
ssl = false;
response = http.SynchronousRequest(domain,port,ssl,request);
if (response == null ) {
    MessageBox.Show(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Display the HTML body of the response.
if (response.StatusCode == 200) {
    textBox1.Text += response.BodyStr + "\r\n";
}
else {
    textBox1.Text += "HTTP Response Status = "
         + response.StatusCode + "\r\n";
