HTTPS GET URL with URL Encoded Query Params

See more HTTP Examples

Creates a URL with URL encoded query params, and sends an HTTPS GET to the URL. Rust

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

// Create a URL with URL-encoded query params.
let sb_url = chilkat::StringBuilder::new();
let _ = sb_url.append("https://www.example.com/something?");

// If we know a query param value does not have any special chars requiring URL encoding,
// just add it.  In this case, there is no need to URL encode "123" because "123" url encoded is still just "123".
let _ = sb_url.append("abc=123&xyz=");

let sb_value = chilkat::StringBuilder::new();
let _ = sb_value.append("this is a test");

let _ = sb_url.append("msg=");
let _ = sb_url.append(&sb_value.get_encoded("url", "utf-8").unwrap_or_default());

// sbUrl contains:  https://www.example.com/something?abc=123&xyz=msg=this%20is%20a%20test
println!("{}", sb_url.get_as_string().unwrap_or_default());

// Send the GET request and get the response body, which is assumed to be text of some sort (HTML, XML, JSON, etc.)
// (Chilkat automatically decompresses gzipped responses)
let http = chilkat::Http::new();
let Ok(response_body) = http.quick_get_str(&sb_url.get_as_string().unwrap_or_default()) else {
    println!("{}", http.last_error_text());
    return;
};

println!("Response Body:");
println!("{}", response_body);
