QuickDeleteStr Example

Sends a DELETE request to a URL. The URL can potentially include params, and custom request headers can be added. Xojo Plugin

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

Dim http As New Chilkat.Http
Dim statusCode As Int32

// Specifiy a session log file so we can see the exact request/response
http.SessionLogFilename = "c:/aaworkarea/sessionLog.txt"

// Perhaps add a custom header or two..
http.SetRequestHeader "x-exz-date","20201012T235046Z"
http.SetRequestHeader "x-exz-id","1234"

// Send a DELETE request to https://www.example.com/someting?param1=123&param2=abc
Dim url As String
url = "https://www.example.com/someting?param1=123&param2=abc"
Dim reponseBodyStr As String
reponseBodyStr = http.QuickDeleteStr(url)
If (http.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    // This will happen if the response status code was 400 or greater,
    // or if the request could not be sent, or if no response was received.
    statusCode = http.LastStatus
    System.DebugLog("Response status: " + Str(statusCode))

    If (statusCode = 0) Then
        // There was an error in communications.  
        System.DebugLog(http.LastErrorText)
    Else
        // We received a response status code indicating failure.
        // Examine the response body.
        System.DebugLog(http.LastResponseBody)
    End If

    Return
End If

// The DELETE request that is sent looks like this.
// The Accept and Accept-Encoding headers are automatically added by default.

// 	DELETE /someting?param1=123&param2=abc HTTP/1.1
// 	Host: www.example.com
// 	Accept: */*
// 	Accept-Encoding: gzip
// 	x-exz-date: 20201012T235046Z
// 	x-exz-id: 1234

// Get the response status
statusCode = http.LastStatus
System.DebugLog("Response status: " + Str(statusCode))

// Show the response body
System.DebugLog(reponseBodyStr)
