<?php

$http = new COM("Chilkat.Http");

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

$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.

$domain = 'www.example-code.com';
$port = 80;
$ssl = false;
$response = $http->SynchronousRequest($domain,$port,$ssl,$request);
if (is_null($response)) {
    print $http->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

//  Display the HTML body of the response.
if ($response->StatusCode == 200) {
    print $response->bodyStr() . "\n";
