See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to inspect the HTTP response, including the status code, status text, and response headers, for Chilkat methods that don't use an HttpResponse object. Xojo Plugin

Dim http As New Chilkat.Http

// Returns the contents of the response body.
Dim jsonText As String
jsonText = http.QuickGetStr("https://chilkatsoft.com/helloWorld.json")

// Examine the response status code.
System.DebugLog("response status code: " + Str(http.LastStatus))

// Examine the response status text
System.DebugLog("response status text: " + http.LastStatusText)

// Examine the full response header.
System.DebugLog("response header:")
System.DebugLog(http.LastResponseHeader)
System.DebugLog("----")

// Examine the response content-type
System.DebugLog("LastContentType = " + http.LastContentType)

// Examine the response last-mod date
System.DebugLog("LastModDate = " + http.LastModDate)

// Load the response header into a Chilkat MIME object to access its fields individually.
Dim mime As New Chilkat.Mime
Dim success As Boolean
success = mime.LoadMime(http.LastResponseHeader)

Dim numHeaders As Int32
numHeaders = mime.NumHeaderFields
Dim i As Int32
i = 0
System.DebugLog("---- MIME Headers ----")
While i < numHeaders
    System.DebugLog("name:  " + mime.GetHeaderFieldName(i))
    System.DebugLog("value: " + mime.GetHeaderFieldValue(i))
    i = i + 1
Wend
System.DebugLog("----")

// Get a header field value by name:
System.DebugLog("ETag: " + mime.GetHeaderField("ETag"))

// Output:

// response status code: 200
