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

http = chilkat2.Http()

# 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
url = "https://www.example.com/someting?param1=123&param2=abc"

    # 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
    print("Response status: " + str(statusCode))

    if (statusCode == 0):
        # There was an error in communications.  
        print(http.LastErrorText)

# 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
print("Response status: " + str(statusCode))

# Show the response body
print(reponseBodyStr)
