AutoIt Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

HTTP Methods - GET and DELETE

Demonstrate a method for sending HTTP requests that don't have a request body, such as for GET or DELETE requests. AutoIt

Local $bSuccess = False

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

$oHttp = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Http")

;  Specifiy a session log file so we can see the exact request/response
$oHttp.SessionLogFilename = "c:/aaworkarea/sessionLog.txt"

;  Perhaps add a custom header or two..
$oHttp.SetRequestHeader "x-exz-date","20201012T235046Z"
$oHttp.SetRequestHeader "x-exz-id","1234"

;  Send a GET request to https://www.example.com/someting?param1=123&param2=abc
Local $sUrl = "https://www.example.com/someting?param1=123&param2=abc"
$oResp = ObjCreate("Chilkat.HttpResponse")
$bSuccess = $oHttp.HttpNoBody("GET",$sUrl,$oResp)
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oHttp.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

;  The GET request that is sent looks like this.
;  The Accept and Accept-Encoding headers are automatically added by default.

;  	GET /someting?param1=123&param2=abc HTTP/1.1
;  	Host: www.example.com
;  	Accept: */*
;  	Accept-Encoding: gzip
;  	x-exz-date: 20201012T235046Z
;  	x-exz-id: 1234

;  Get the response status
Local $iStatusCode = $oResp.StatusCode
ConsoleWrite("Response status: " & $iStatusCode & @CRLF)

;  Get the response body
ConsoleWrite($oResp.BodyStr & @CRLF)

;  -------------------------------------------------------------
;  Let's say we want to send a DELETE request, and we only want to accept an application/json response,
;  and we don't want gzipped responses...

;  First remove the previously specified custom headers.
$oHttp.ClearHeaders 

;  Indicate we only accept application/json non-gzipped responses.
$oHttp.Accept = "application/json"
$oHttp.AllowGzip = False

;  Send a DELETE request to https://www.example.com/deleteSomething
$sUrl = "https://www.example.com/deleteSomething"
$bSuccess = $oHttp.HttpNoBody("DELETE",$sUrl,$oResp)
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oHttp.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

;  The DELETE request that is sent looks like this.
;  The empty Accept-Encoding header value means we only want non-compressed responses.

;  	DELETE /deleteSomething HTTP/1.1
;  	Host: www.example.com
;  	Accept: application/json
;  	Accept-Encoding: 

;  Get the response status
$iStatusCode = $oResp.StatusCode
ConsoleWrite("Response status: " & $iStatusCode & @CRLF)

;  Get the response body
ConsoleWrite($oResp.BodyStr & @CRLF)
