Demonstrates the RenderGet 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()

-- Perhaps add a custom header or two..
http:set_request_header("x-exz-date", "20201012T235046Z")
http:set_request_header("x-exz-id", "1234")

-- See the exact HTTP request that would be sent via the HttpNoBody method using the GET HTTP verb.
-- No request is actually sent to the server.
local url = "https://www.example.com/someting?param1=123&param2=abc"
local getRequest = http:render_get(url)
if not http.last_method_success then
    print(http.last_error_text)
    return
end

print(getRequest)

-- The rendered GET request is shown below.
-- (The Accept and Accept-Encoding headers are automatically added by default.)

--     GET /someting?param1=123&param2=abc HTTP/1.1
--     Host: www.example.com
--     Accept: */*
--     Accept-Encoding: gzip
