Demonstrates the BuildHttpGetRequest method. Chilkat2 PHP

<?php

use Chilkat2\HttpRequest;
use Chilkat2\Socket;

// The BuildHttpGetRequest method is a convenience method for building
// an HTTP GET request.  Normally, an application would use Chilkat's HTTP or REST API's
// for sending HTTP requests.

$socket = new Socket();

$url = 'http://www.chilkatsoft.com/test.asp?x=123&y=456';
$reqStr = $socket->BuildHttpGetRequest($url);
echo $reqStr, "\n";
echo "----\n";

// The result is:

//     GET /test.asp?x=123&y=456 HTTP/1.1
//     Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
//     Connection: keep-alive
//     User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0
//     Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5
//     Host: www.chilkatsoft.com

// The result is meant to look like a request from a browser.

// The same thing can be done using the Url and HttpRequest classes, but with more flexibility.

$req = new HttpRequest();
$req->SetFromUrl($url);
$reqStr = $req->GenerateRequestText();
echo $reqStr, "\n";
echo "----\n";

// The result is:

//     GET /test.asp?x=123&y=456 HTTP/1.1
//     Host: domain

// Add some headers..
$req->AddHeader('Host', 'www.chilkatsoft.com');
$req->AddHeader('Accept-Language', 'en-us,en;q=0.5');
$req->AddHeader('Some-Other-Header', '123456');

$reqStr = $req->GenerateRequestText();
echo $reqStr, "\n";

// The result is now:

//     GET /test.asp?x=123&y=456 HTTP/1.1
//     Host: www.chilkatsoft.com
//     Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5
