QuickDeleteStr Example

Sends a DELETE request to a URL. The URL can potentially include params, and custom request headers can be added. PowerShell

Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

# This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$http = New-Object Chilkat.Http

# Specifiy a session log file so we can see the exact request/response
$http.SessionLogFilename = "c:/aaworkarea/sessionLog.txt"

# Perhaps add a custom header or two..
$http.SetRequestHeader("x-exz-date","20201012T235046Z")
$http.SetRequestHeader("x-exz-id","1234")

# Send a DELETE request to https://www.example.com/someting?param1=123&param2=abc
$url = "https://www.example.com/someting?param1=123&param2=abc"
$reponseBodyStr = $http.QuickDeleteStr($url)
if ($http.LastMethodSuccess -eq $false) {
    # This will happen if the response status code was 400 or greater,
    # or if the request could not be sent, or if no response was received.
    $statusCode = $http.LastStatus
    $("Response status: " + $statusCode)

    if ($statusCode -eq 0) {
        # There was an error in communications.  
        $($http.LastErrorText)
    }
    else {
        # We received a response status code indicating failure.
        # Examine the response body.
        $($http.LastResponseBody)
    }

    exit
}

# The DELETE request that is sent looks like this.
# The Accept and Accept-Encoding headers are automatically added by default.

# 	DELETE /someting?param1=123&param2=abc HTTP/1.1
# 	Host: www.example.com
# 	Accept: */*
# 	Accept-Encoding: gzip
# 	x-exz-date: 20201012T235046Z
# 	x-exz-id: 1234

# Get the response status
$statusCode = $http.LastStatus
$("Response status: " + $statusCode)

# Show the response body
$($reponseBodyStr)
