Demonstrates how to call the CloseAllConnections method. Chilkat2-Python

import sys
import chilkat2

success = False

http = chilkat2.Http()

# Demonstrate 
url = "https://finnhub.io/api/v1/quote?symbol={$symbol}&token={$api_key}"

# When the request is sent, the {$symbol} is replaced with "MSFT"
# and the {$api_key} is replaced with "1234567890ABCDEF"
http.SetUrlVar("symbol","MSFT")
http.SetUrlVar("api_key","1234567890ABCDEF")

sbJson = chilkat2.StringBuilder()
success = http.QuickGetSb(url,sbJson)
if (success == False):
    print(http.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

statusCode = http.LastStatus
print(http.LastResponseHeader)

# The response header contains this:

# Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2025 12:18:56 GMT
# Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
# Transfer-Encoding: chunked
# Connection: keep-alive
# Content-Encoding: gzip

# The "Connection: keep-alive" header ensures the server keeps the connection open for subsequent requests.
# If the server responds with a "Connection: close" header, it indicates the connection will be closed after the response. 
# Consequently, Chilkat will also close the connection, requiring a new one to be established for any subsequent requests to the same server.

# If your application uses the same HTTP object instance to send requests to a different server, a new connection will be established with that server.
# Existing connections remain open, with Chilkat maintaining up to 10 open connections. 
# If all 10 connections are in use, Chilkat will close the least recently used connection to connect to a new server.

# Your application can explicitly close all open connections like this:
success = http.CloseAllConnections()
if (success == False):
    print(http.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()
