HTTPS GET - Download HTML or any Text Content to a String

See more HTTP Examples

The QuickGetStr method is the simplest way to retrieve a text resource from a web server using an HTTP GET request. The text resource can be HTML, XML, JSON, text, or anything other type of file composed of readable text.

Dart

import 'package:chilkat/chilkat.dart';

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

  final http = CkHttp();

  // Send the HTTP GET and return the content in a string.
  String str;
  try {
    str = http.quickGetStr('https://www.chilkatsoft.com/helloWorld.json');
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  print(str);

  str = http.quickGetStr('https://www.chilkatsoft.com/helloWorld.txt');
  print(str);

  str = http.quickGetStr('https://www.chilkatsoft.com/helloWorld.xml');
  print(str);
}
