void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    HCkHttp http;
    const char *html;

    //  This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    //  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    http = CkHttp_Create();

    //  Set the SessionLogFilename property so that the Chilkat HTTP component
    //  logs the exact HTTP requests and responses to a file.

    //  The SessionLogFilename may be used with any of the HTTP
    //  methods for sending GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, HEAD, etc.
    CkHttp_putSessionLogFilename(http,"c:/temp/httpSessionLog.txt");

    //  Try a simple HTTP GET and then examine the session log:
    html = CkHttp_quickGetStr(http,"http://www.chilkatsoft.com/httpTest/abc.html");
    if (CkHttp_getLastMethodSuccess(http) != TRUE) {
        printf("%s\n",CkHttp_lastErrorText(http));
        CkHttp_Dispose(http);
        return;
    }

    //  The contents of the session log file after doing 
    //  the GET request:

    //  	---- Sending ----
