This example demonstrates sending an HTTP GET request without waiting for the response. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

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

local rest = chilkat.Rest.new()

-- Connect to the server using TLS
local bAutoReconnect = false
local success = rest:connect("example.com", 443, true, bAutoReconnect)
if not success then
    print(rest.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Send a GET request to https://example.com/some/path
success = rest:send_req_no_body("GET", "/some/path")
if not success then
    print(rest.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- OK, the request was sent.
-- Close the connection.
local maxWaitMs = 50
rest:disconnect(maxWaitMs)
