local chilkat = require("chilkat")

local rest = chilkat.Rest.new()
local bTls = true
local bAutoReconnect = true
local success = rest:connect("example.com", 443, bTls, bAutoReconnect)
if not success then
    print(rest.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Send a complete request with no request body, such as a GET or DELETE.  The response body is read
-- as text and returned.
local responseText = rest:full_request_no_body("GET", "/api/items/123")
if not rest.last_method_success then
    print(rest.last_error_text)
    return
end

print(responseText)
