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

    let http = CkoHttp()!

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

    // Send a request with the following header:

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

    var responseBody: String? = http.quickGetStr("https://chilkatsoft.com/helloWorld.txt")
    // Examine the request header we just sent..
    print("\(http.lastHeader!)")
    print("----")

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

    // Send a request with the following header:

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

    responseBody = http.quickGetStr("https://chilkatsoft.com/helloWorld.txt")
