Procedure Test
    Boolean iSuccess
    Handle hoHttp
    Variant vResp
    Handle hoResp
    Integer iStatusCode
    String sTemp1

    Move False To iSuccess

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

    If (Not(IsComObjectCreated(hoHttp))) Begin
        Send CreateComObject of hoHttp

    // In this example, we want a 200 status code.

        // Note: This is only for the sake of this example.
        // It's better to call the Download method to download directly to a file.
