'  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")

'  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.
http.SessionLogFilename = "c:/temp/httpSessionLog.txt"

'  Try a simple HTTP GET and then examine the session log:
Dim html As String = http.QuickGetStr("http://www.chilkatsoft.com/httpTest/abc.html")
If http.LastMethodSuccess <> True Then
    Log(http.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If


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