Dim req As Chilkat.HttpRequest
Set req = Chilkat.NewHttpRequest

' Loads the HTTP request object from a URL
req.SetFromUrl "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAZdTchQePc&t=45s"

' The verb will be "GET"
Debug.Print "verb = "; req.HttpVerb
' The path will be "/watch"
Debug.Print "path = "; req.Path

' The output of this loop will be
' 0) v: fAZdTchQePc
' 1) t: 45s

For i = 0 To numParams - 1
    Debug.Print i; ") "; req.GetParamName(i); ": "; req.GetParamValue(i)
Next

' View the request that would be sent if SynchronousRequest is called.
' The HTTP request will be a GET that looks like this:
' 
'     GET /watch?v=fAZdTchQePc&t=45s HTTP/1.1
'     Host: domain
' 
' Note: The HOST header will automatically get filled in with the actual domain when SynchronousRequest is called.

Debug.Print req.GenerateRequestText()

' We can add additional params
req.AddParam "artist","Richard Bona"
req.AddParam "musicType","Jazz"
req.AddParam "festival","Estival Jazz Lugano"
req.AddParam "year","2008"

' Now examine the request that would be sent
' 
'     GET /watch?v=fAZdTchQePc&t=45s&artist=Richard%20Bona&musicType=Jazz&festival=Estival%20Jazz%20Lugano&year=2008 HTTP/1.1

' We can remove a parameter:
req.RemoveParam "t"

' What happens if we change the request from a GET to a POST?

' The request will now look like this:
' 
'    POST /watch HTTP/1.1
'    Host: domain
'    Content-Length: 93

'    v=fAZdTchQePc&artist=Richard%20Bona&musicType=Jazz&festival=Estival%20Jazz%20Lugano&year=2008
