Load XML Object from HTTP Response Body

Demonstrates how to load the HTTP response body directly into an XML object. CkPython

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

http = chilkat.CkHttp()

resp = chilkat.CkHttpResponse()
success = http.HttpStr("GET","https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampledata/inventory.xml","","","",resp)
if (success == False):
    print(http.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

xml = chilkat.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())

# Note: If UncommonOptions contained "TakeResponseBody", then the response BodyStr will now be empty:
print("----")
print(resp.bodyStr())
