HTTP Session Logging

Demonstrates how to use the SessionLogFilename property to log HTTP requests and responses to a file. 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()

-- Set the SessionLogFilename property so that the Chilkat HTTP component
-- logs the exact HTTP requests and responses to a file.

-- The SessionLogFilename may be used with any of the HTTP
-- methods for sending GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, HEAD, etc.
http.session_log_filename = "c:/temp/httpSessionLog.txt"

-- Try a simple HTTP GET and then examine the session log:
local html = http:quick_get_str("http://www.chilkatsoft.com/httpTest/abc.html")
if not http.last_method_success then
    print(http.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- The contents of the session log file after doing
-- the GET request:

--     ---- Sending ----
--     GET /httpTest/abc.html HTTP/1.1
--     Accept: */*
--     Accept-Encoding: gzip
--     Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7
