QuickDeleteStr Example

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

#include <CkHttp.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    //  This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    //  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    CkHttp http;
    int statusCode;

    //  Specifiy a session log file so we can see the exact request/response
    http.put_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
    const char *url = "https://www.example.com/someting?param1=123&param2=abc";
    const char *reponseBodyStr = http.quickDeleteStr(url);
    if (http.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false) {
        //  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.get_LastStatus();
        std::cout << "Response status: " << statusCode << "\r\n";

        if (statusCode == 0) {
            //  There was an error in communications.  
            std::cout << http.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        }
        else {
            //  We received a response status code indicating failure.
            //  Examine the response body.
            std::cout << http.lastResponseBody() << "\r\n";
        }

        return;
    }

    //  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.get_LastStatus();
    std::cout << "Response status: " << statusCode << "\r\n";

    //  Show the response body
    std::cout << reponseBodyStr << "\r\n";
    }
