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

loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')

*  Specifiy a session log file so we can see the exact request/response
loHttp.SessionLogFilename = "c:/aaworkarea/sessionLog.txt"

*  Perhaps add a custom header or two..
loHttp.SetRequestHeader("x-exz-date","20201012T235046Z")
loHttp.SetRequestHeader("x-exz-id","1234")

*  Send a DELETE request to https://www.example.com/someting?param1=123&param2=abc
lcUrl = "https://www.example.com/someting?param1=123&param2=abc"
lcReponseBodyStr = loHttp.QuickDeleteStr(lcUrl)
IF (loHttp.LastMethodSuccess = 0) THEN
    *  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.
    lnStatusCode = loHttp.LastStatus
    ? "Response status: " + STR(lnStatusCode)

    IF (lnStatusCode = 0) THEN
        *  There was an error in communications.  
        ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    ELSE
        *  We received a response status code indicating failure.
        *  Examine the response body.
        ? loHttp.LastResponseBody

*  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
lnStatusCode = loHttp.LastStatus
? "Response status: " + STR(lnStatusCode)

*  Show the response body
? lcReponseBodyStr
