HTTP Response Inspection

See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to inspect the HTTP response, including the status code, status text, and response headers, for Chilkat methods that don't use an HttpResponse object. C

#include <C_CkHttp.h>
#include <C_CkMime.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    HCkHttp http;
    const char *jsonText;
    HCkMime mime;
    int numHeaders;
    int i;

    http = CkHttp_Create();

    //  Returns the contents of the response body.
    jsonText = CkHttp_quickGetStr(http,"https://chilkatsoft.com/helloWorld.json");

    //  Examine the response status code.
    printf("response status code: %d\n",CkHttp_getLastStatus(http));

    //  Examine the response status text
    printf("response status text: %s\n",CkHttp_lastStatusText(http));

    //  Examine the full response header.
    printf("response header:\n");
    printf("%s\n",CkHttp_lastResponseHeader(http));
    printf("----\n");

    //  Examine the response content-type
    printf("LastContentType = %s\n",CkHttp_lastContentType(http));

    //  Examine the response last-mod date
    printf("LastModDate = %s\n",CkHttp_lastModDate(http));

    //  Load the response header into a Chilkat MIME object to access its fields individually.
    mime = CkMime_Create();
    CkMime_LoadMime(mime,CkHttp_lastResponseHeader(http));

    numHeaders = CkMime_getNumHeaderFields(mime);
    i = 0;
    printf("---- MIME Headers ----\n");
    while (i < numHeaders) {
        printf("name:  %s\n",CkMime_getHeaderFieldName(mime,i));
        printf("value: %s\n",CkMime_getHeaderFieldValue(mime,i));
        i = i + 1;
    }

    printf("----\n");

    //  Get a header field value by name:
    printf("ETag: %s\n",CkMime_getHeaderField(mime,"ETag"));
