<?php

include("chilkat.php");

$success = false;

$http = new CkHttp();

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

$xml = new CkXml();

// 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() . "\n";

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