    bool success = false;

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

    //  Send a GET request to download a PDF into an HTTP response object.
    CkHttpResponse resp;

    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";

        std::cout << resp.bodyStr() << "\r\n";
