Demonstrates how to use the SessionLogFilename property to log HTTP requests and responses to a file.

Download Chilkat HTTP ActiveX

LOCAL loHttp
LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL lcHtml

loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')

*  Any string unlocks the component for the 1st 30-days.
lnSuccess = loHttp.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    QUIT
ENDIF

*  Set the SessionLogFilename property so that the Chilkat HTTP component
*  logs the exact HTTP requests and responses to a log file.

*  The SessionLogFilename may be used with any of the HTTP
*  methods for sending GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, HEAD, etc.
loHttp.SessionLogFilename = "c:/temp/httpSessionLog.txt"

*  Try a simple HTTP GET and then examine the session log:

lcHtml = loHttp.QuickGetStr("http://www.chilkatsoft.com/httpTest/abc.html")
IF (lcHtml = NULL ) THEN
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    QUIT
ENDIF

*  Here are the contents of the session log file after doing
*  the GET request:
