(Go) QuickGetObj Example

The QuickGetObj method is called to send a GET request and receive the response as an HttpResponse object.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

    success := false

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

    http := Http_Ref.html">chilkat.NewHttp()

    // Send a GET request to download a PDF into an HTTP response object.
    resp := HttpResponse_Ref.html">chilkat.NewHttpResponse()
    success = http.HttpNoBody("GET","https://www.chilkatsoft.com/hello.pdf",resp)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(http.LastErrorText())
        http.DisposeHttp()
        resp.DisposeHttpResponse()
        return
    }

    // Get the response status
    statusCode := resp.StatusCode()
    fmt.Println("Response status: ", statusCode)

    // In this example, we want a 200 status code.
    if statusCode == 200 {
        // Save the response body to a file.
        // Note: This is only for the sake of this example.
        // It's better to call the Download method to download directly to a file.
        success = resp.SaveBodyBinary("qa_output/hello.pdf")
        if success == false {
            fmt.Println("Failed to write output file.")
        } else {
            fmt.Println("Wrote hello.pdf")
        }

    } else {
        // Perhaps we have response body with an error message..
        fmt.Println(resp.BodyStr())

    }
