import sys
import chilkat

http = chilkat.CkHttp()

#  Any string unlocks the component for the 1st 30-days.
success = http.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial")
if (success != True):
    print http.lastErrorText()
    sys.exit()

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

#  Build an HTTP GET request:
request = chilkat.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.

domain = "www.example-code.com"
port = 80
ssl = False
response = http.SynchronousRequest(domain,port,ssl,request)
if (response == None ):
    print http.lastErrorText()
    sys.exit()

#  Display the HTML body of the response.
if (response.get_StatusCode() == 200):
    print response.bodyStr()
else:
    print "HTTP Response Status = " + response.get_StatusCode()
