Lua Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Example: Http.HttpParams method

Demonstrates the HttpParams method. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

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

local http = chilkat.Http.new()

-- Demonstrate sending a GET request with query parameters.
local queryParams = chilkat.JsonObject.new()
queryParams:update_int("limit", 100)
queryParams:update_string("email", "joe@example.com")
queryParams:update_string("token", "VGhlIHF1aWNrIGJyb3duIGZveCBqdW1wZWQgb3ZlciB0aGUgbGF6eSBkb2cuLi4=")

-- Set a session log filename so we can examine the exact request that is sent.
local sessionLogPath = "c:/temp/qa_output/sessionLog.txt"
http.session_log_filename = sessionLogPath

-- Send the GET request to an endpoint.  We don't care about the response. The purpose of this example
-- is to see the exact HTTP request that is sent..
local resp = chilkat.HttpResponse.new()
local success = http:http_params("GET", "https://chilkatsoft.com/echo_request_body.asp", queryParams, resp)
if not success then
    print(http.last_error_text)
    return
end

local fac = chilkat.FileAccess.new()
local sessionLog = fac:read_entire_text_file(sessionLogPath, "utf-8")
print(sessionLog)
success = fac:file_delete(sessionLogPath)

-- This is the exact GET request that was sent.
-- Notice how each query parameter is URL encoded and added to the HTTP start line of the request.

-- GET /echo_request_body.asp?limit=100&email=joe%40example.com&token=VGhlIHF1aWNrIGJyb3duIGZveCBqdW1wZWQgb3ZlciB0aGUgbGF6eSBkb2cuLi4%3D HTTP/1.1
