require 'rubygems'
require 'chilkat'

http = Chilkat::CkHttp.new()

#  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";
    exit
end

#  Send the HTTP GET and return the content in a string.
#  (cknotes.com is the Chilkat blog.)

html = http.quickGetStr("http://www.cknotes.com/")
if (html == nil )
    print http.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

#  This example is about examining the request/response headers, so we're ignoring the html received...

#  Show the HTTP request header:
print http.lastHeader() + "\n";

#  Show the HTTP response header:
print http.lastResponseHeader() + "\n";
