// Set the SessionLogFilename property so that the Chilkat HTTP component
// logs the exact HTTP requests and responses to a file.

// The SessionLogFilename may be used with any of the HTTP
// methods for sending GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, HEAD, etc.
http.SessionLogFilename := 'c:/temp/httpSessionLog.txt';

// Try a simple HTTP GET and then examine the session log:
html := http.QuickGetStr('http://www.chilkatsoft.com/httpTest/abc.html');

  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(http.LastErrorText);
    Exit;
