// 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.  

loo_Socket = create oleobject
li_rc = loo_Socket.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.Socket")
if li_rc < 0 then
    destroy loo_Socket
    MessageBox("Error","Connecting to COM object failed")

// 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.
