Lua Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Load XML Object from HTTP Response Body

Demonstrates how to load the HTTP response body directly into an XML object. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

local http = chilkat.Http.new()

local resp = chilkat.HttpResponse.new()
local success = http:http_str("GET", "https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampledata/inventory.xml", "", "", "", resp)
if not success then
    print(http.last_error_text)
    return
end

local xml = chilkat.Xml.new()

-- If we wish to transfer (instead of copy) the XML from the HttpResponse to the Xml, then add the keyword "TakeResponseBody" to UncommonOptions
-- This could save memory for extremely large XML responses.
resp.uncommon_options = "TakeResponseBody"

resp:get_body_xml(xml)

print(xml:get_xml())

-- Note: If UncommonOptions contained "TakeResponseBody", then the response BodyStr will now be empty:
print("----")
print(resp.body_str)
