Chilkat2-Python

QuickGetObj Example

The QuickGetObj method is called to send a GET request and receive the response as an HttpResponse object. Chilkat2-Python

import sys
import chilkat2

success = False

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

http = chilkat2.Http()

# Send a GET request to download a PDF into an HTTP response object.
resp = chilkat2.HttpResponse()
success = http.HttpNoBody("GET","https://www.chilkatsoft.com/hello.pdf",resp)
if (success == False):
    print(http.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# Get the response status
statusCode = resp.StatusCode
print("Response status: " + str(statusCode))

# In this example, we want a 200 status code.
if (statusCode == 200):
    # Save the response body to a file.
    # Note: This is only for the sake of this example.
    # It's better to call the Download method to download directly to a file.
    success = resp.SaveBodyBinary("qa_output/hello.pdf")
    if (success == False):
        print("Failed to write output file.")
    else:
        print("Wrote hello.pdf")

else:
    # Perhaps we have response body with an error message..
    print(resp.BodyStr)
