Rust

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

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

// The following request will be sent.
// The Accept and Accept-Encoding headers are default headers added by Chilkat.

// GET /helloWorld.txt HTTP/1.1
// Host: chilkatsoft.com
// Accept: */*
// Accept-Encoding: gzip

let mut response_body = http.quick_get_str("https://chilkatsoft.com/helloWorld.txt").unwrap_or_default();
// Examine the request header we just sent..
println!("{}", http.last_header());
println!("----");

// Remove the default headers:
http.remove_request_header("Accept");
http.remove_request_header("Accept-Encoding");

// Send a request with the following header:

// GET /helloWorld.txt HTTP/1.1
// Host: chilkatsoft.com

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