    {
    bool success = false;

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

    CkHttpW http;

    // Send a GET request to download a PDF into an HTTP response object.
    CkHttpResponseW resp;
    success = http.HttpNoBody(L"GET",L"https://www.chilkatsoft.com/hello.pdf",resp);
    if (success == false) {
        wprintf(L"%s\n",http.lastErrorText());
        return;
    }

    // Get the response status
    int statusCode = resp.get_StatusCode();
    wprintf(L"Response status: %d\n",statusCode);

    // In this example, we want a 200 status code.
    if (statusCode == 200) {
        // Save the response body to a file.
        // Note: This is only for the sake of this example.
        // It's better to call the Download method to download directly to a file.
        success = resp.SaveBodyBinary(L"qa_output/hello.pdf");
        if (success == false) {
            wprintf(L"Failed to write output file.\n");
        }
        else {
            wprintf(L"Wrote hello.pdf\n");
        }

    }
    else {
        // Perhaps we have response body with an error message..
        wprintf(L"%s\n",resp.bodyStr());

    }
    }
