* 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
    ENDIF

    RELEASE loHttp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* 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

RELEASE loHttp
