Sends a DELETE request to a URL. The URL can potentially include params, and custom request headers can be added. B4X

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

Dim http As ChilkatHttp
http.Initialize("http")
Dim statusCode As Int

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

'  Perhaps add a custom header or two..
http.SetRequestHeader("x-exz-date", "20201012T235046Z")
http.SetRequestHeader("x-exz-id", "1234")

'  Send a DELETE request to https://www.example.com/someting?param1=123&param2=abc
Dim url As String = "https://www.example.com/someting?param1=123&param2=abc"
Dim reponseBodyStr As String = http.QuickDeleteStr(url)
If http.LastMethodSuccess = False Then
    '  This will happen if the response status code was 400 or greater,
    '  or if the request could not be sent, or if no response was received.
    statusCode = http.LastStatus
    Log("Response status: " & statusCode)

    If statusCode = 0 Then
        '  There was an error in communications.  
        Log(http.LastErrorText)
    Else
        '  We received a response status code indicating failure.
        '  Examine the response body.
        Log(http.LastResponseBody)
    End If


    Return
End If


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

'  	DELETE /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
statusCode = http.LastStatus
Log("Response status: " & statusCode)

'  Show the response body
Log(reponseBodyStr)
