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

# Set the SessionLogFilename property so that the Chilkat HTTP component
# logs the exact HTTP requests and responses to a file.

# The SessionLogFilename may be used with any of the HTTP
# methods for sending GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, HEAD, etc.
$http.SessionLogFilename = "c:/temp/httpSessionLog.txt"

# Try a simple HTTP GET and then examine the session log:
$html = $http.QuickGetStr("http://www.chilkatsoft.com/httpTest/abc.html")
if ($http.LastMethodSuccess -ne $true) {
    $($http.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

# The contents of the session log file after doing 
# the GET request:

# 	---- Sending ----
# 	GET /httpTest/abc.html HTTP/1.1
