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

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

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

    CkHttp http;

    // Send a GET request to download a PDF into an HTTP response object.
    CkHttpResponse resp;
    success = http.HttpNoBody("GET","https://www.chilkatsoft.com/hello.pdf",resp);
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << http.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    // Get the response status
    int statusCode = resp.get_StatusCode();
    std::cout << "Response status: " << statusCode << "\r\n";

    // 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) {
            std::cout << "Failed to write output file." << "\r\n";
        }
        else {
            std::cout << "Wrote hello.pdf" << "\r\n";
        }

    }
    else {
        // Perhaps we have response body with an error message..
        std::cout << resp.bodyStr() << "\r\n";

    }
    }
