    //  methods for sending GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, HEAD, etc.

    //  Try a simple HTTP GET and then examine the session log:
    String html;
    html = http.quickGetStr("http://www.chilkatsoft.com/httpTest/abc.html");
    if (html == null ) {
        System.out.println(http.lastErrorText());
        return;

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