use chilkat();

$success = 0;

$http = chilkat::CkHttp->new();

$resp = chilkat::CkHttpResponse->new();
$success = $http->HttpStr("GET","https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampledata/inventory.xml","","","",$resp);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $http->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

$xml = chilkat::CkXml->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->put_UncommonOptions("TakeResponseBody");

$resp->GetBodyXml($xml);

print $xml->getXml() . "\r\n";

# Note: If UncommonOptions contained "TakeResponseBody", then the response BodyStr will now be empty:
print "----" . "\r\n";
print $resp->bodyStr() . "\r\n";
