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

Chilkat.Http http = new Chilkat.Http();
int statusCode;

// 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
string url = "https://www.example.com/someting?param1=123&param2=abc";
string reponseBodyStr = await http.QuickDeleteStrAsync(url);
if (http.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.LastStatus;
    Debug.WriteLine("Response status: " + Convert.ToString(statusCode));

    if (statusCode == 0) {
        // There was an error in communications.  
        Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText);
    }
    else {
        // We received a response status code indicating failure.
        // Examine the response body.
        Debug.WriteLine(http.LastResponseBody);
    }

    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.LastStatus;
Debug.WriteLine("Response status: " + Convert.ToString(statusCode));

// Show the response body
Debug.WriteLine(reponseBodyStr);
