HTTP Connection Management

The Chilkat HTTP component automatically manages connections to HTTP servers. It will keep connections open when possible, up to the maximum specified by the MaxConnections property. If a new request causes the max to be exceeded, the connection with the least recent activity is automatically closed.

Chilkat.Http http = new Chilkat.Http();
bool unlocked = http.UnlockComponent("Any string begins 30-day trial");
if (!unlocked)
{
    MessageBox.Show("Failed to unlock HTTP component");
    return;
}

// Allow the HTTP component to manage a maximum of 20 open HTTP connections.
// The HTTP component will keep connections to HTTP servers open when possible,
// up to this maximum number.  If a new request causes a new connection to be
// initiated that exceeds the limit, then the connection with the least recent
// activity is automatically closed.
http.MaxConnections = 20;

string htmlPage = http.QuickGetStr("http://www.worldwideweb-x.com/");

if (htmlPage == null)
{
    MessageBox.Show(http.LastErrorText);
}
else
{
    textBox1.Text = htmlPage;
}
