use chilkat;

$http = new chilkat::CkHttp();

#  Any string unlocks the component for the 1st 30-days.
$success = $http->UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial");
if ($success != 1) {
    print $http->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

#  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.
$http->put_SessionLogFilename("c:/temp/httpSessionLog.txt");

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

$html = $http->quickGetStr("http://www.chilkatsoft.com/httpTest/abc.html");
if ($html eq null ) {
    print $http->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

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