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

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

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

    let http = CkoHttp()!

    // Demonstrate sending a GET request with query parameters.
    let queryParams = CkoJsonObject()!
    queryParams.updateInt(jsonPath: "limit", value: 100)
    queryParams.updateString(jsonPath: "email", value: "joe@example.com")
    queryParams.updateString(jsonPath: "token", value: "VGhlIHF1aWNrIGJyb3duIGZveCBqdW1wZWQgb3ZlciB0aGUgbGF6eSBkb2cuLi4=")

    // Set a session log filename so we can examine the exact request that is sent.
    var sessionLogPath: String? = "qa_output/sessionLog.txt"
    http.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..
    let resp = CkoHttpResponse()!
    success = http.httpParams(verb: "GET", url: "https://www.chilkatsoft.com/echoPostBody.asp", json: queryParams, response: resp)
    if success == false {
        print("\(http.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    let fac = CkoFileAccess()!
    var sessionLog: String? = fac.readEntireTextFile(path: sessionLogPath, charset: "utf-8")
    print("\(sessionLog!)")
    success = fac.fileDelete(path: 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
