local http = chilkat.Http.new()
local sbXml = chilkat.StringBuilder.new()

-- Download the XML from the URL into sbXml
local success = http:quick_get_sb("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/hamlet.xml", sbXml)
if not success then
    print(http.last_error_text)
    return
end

local xml = chilkat.Xml.new()

-- Load the XML contained in sbXml
success = xml:load_sb(sbXml, true)
if not success then
    print(xml.last_error_text)
