This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

var success = false;

var http = new CkHttp();

// Demonstrate 
var url = "https://finnhub.io/api/v1/quote?symbol={$symbol}&token={$api_key}";

// When the request is sent, the {$symbol} is replaced with "MSFT"
// and the {$api_key} is replaced with "1234567890ABCDEF"
http.SetUrlVar("symbol","MSFT");
http.SetUrlVar("api_key","1234567890ABCDEF");

var sbJson = new CkStringBuilder();
success = http.QuickGetSb(url,sbJson);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

var statusCode = http.LastStatus;
console.log(http.LastResponseHeader);

// The response header contains this:

// Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2025 12:18:56 GMT
// Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
// Transfer-Encoding: chunked
// Connection: keep-alive
// Content-Encoding: gzip

// The "Connection: keep-alive" header ensures the server keeps the connection open for subsequent requests.
// If the server responds with a "Connection: close" header, it indicates the connection will be closed after the response. 
// Consequently, Chilkat will also close the connection, requiring a new one to be established for any subsequent requests to the same server.

// If your application uses the same HTTP object instance to send requests to a different server, a new connection will be established with that server.
// Existing connections remain open, with Chilkat maintaining up to 10 open connections. 
// If all 10 connections are in use, Chilkat will close the least recently used connection to connect to a new server.

// Your application can explicitly close all open connections like this:
success = http.CloseAllConnections();
if (success == false) {
    console.log(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

console.log("Success.");
