HTTPS GET - Download HTML or any Text Content to a String

See more HTTP Examples

The QuickGetStr method is the simplest way to retrieve a text resource from a web server using an HTTP GET request. The text resource can be HTML, XML, JSON, text, or anything other type of file composed of readable text.

Rust

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

let http = chilkat::Http::new();

// Send the HTTP GET and return the content in a string.
let Ok(mut str) = http.quick_get_str("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/helloWorld.json") else {
    println!("{}", http.last_error_text());
    return;
};

println!("{}", str);

str = http.quick_get_str("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/helloWorld.txt").unwrap_or_default();
println!("{}", str);

str = http.quick_get_str("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/helloWorld.xml").unwrap_or_default();
println!("{}", str);
