Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim http As New Chilkat.Http

Dim maxSz As UInt32 = 16384

' Try to get something larger, such as hamlet.xml which is 279658 bytes
Dim xmlStr As String = http.QuickGetStr("https://chilkatsoft.com/hamlet.xml")
If (http.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    ' If the LastErrorText contains the string "MaxResponseSize",
    ' then the HTTP request failed because the response body would've been larger than the max allowed response size.
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
