Demonstrates how to use the Http.QuickRequestParams method. This is where query params can be provided non-URL-encoded in JSON format. CkPython

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

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

http = chilkat.CkHttp()

# Demonstrate sending a GET request with query parameters.
queryParams = chilkat.CkJsonObject()
queryParams.UpdateInt("limit",100)
queryParams.UpdateString("email","joe@example.com")
queryParams.UpdateString("token","VGhlIHF1aWNrIGJyb3duIGZveCBqdW1wZWQgb3ZlciB0aGUgbGF6eSBkb2cuLi4=")

# Set a session log filename so we can examine the exact request that is sent.
sessionLogPath = "qa_output/sessionLog.txt"
http.put_SessionLogFilename(sessionLogPath)

# Send the GET request to an endpoint.  We don't care about the response. The purpose of this example
# is to see the exact HTTP request that is sent..
resp = chilkat.CkHttpResponse()
success = http.HttpParams("GET","https://www.chilkatsoft.com/echoPostBody.asp",queryParams,resp)
if (success == False):
    print(http.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

fac = chilkat.CkFileAccess()
sessionLog = fac.readEntireTextFile(sessionLogPath,"utf-8")
print(sessionLog)
success = fac.FileDelete(sessionLogPath)

# This is the exact GET request that was sent.
# Notice how each query parameter is URL encoded and added to the HTTP start line of the request.

# GET /echoPostBody.asp?limit=100&email=joe%40example.com&token=VGhlIHF1aWNrIGJyb3duIGZveCBqdW1wZWQgb3ZlciB0aGUgbGF6eSBkb2cuLi4%3D HTTP/1.1
