Download Chilkat Java Library

import com.chilkatsoft.*;

public class ChilkatExample {

  static {
    try {
        System.loadLibrary("chilkat");
    } catch (UnsatisfiedLinkError e) {
      System.err.println("Native code library failed to load.\n" + e);
      System.exit(1);
    }
  }

  public static void main(String argv[])
  {
    CkHttp http = new CkHttp();

    boolean success;

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

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

    //  Build an HTTP GET request:
    CkHttpRequest request = new CkHttpRequest();
    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.
    CkHttpResponse response;
    String domain;
    domain = "www.example-code.com";
    int port;
    port = (int) 80;
    boolean ssl;
    ssl = false;
    response = http.SynchronousRequest(domain,port,ssl,request);
    if (response == null ) {
        System.out.println(http.lastErrorText());
        return;
    }

    //  Display the HTML body of the response.
    if (response.get_StatusCode() == 200) {
        System.out.println(response.bodyStr());
    }
    else {
        System.out.println("HTTP Response Status = "
             + response.get_StatusCode());
    }
