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

Dim http As New Chilkat.Http

// Set the SessionLogFilename property so that the Chilkat HTTP component
// logs the exact HTTP requests and responses to a file.

// The SessionLogFilename may be used with any of the HTTP
// methods for sending GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, HEAD, etc.
http.SessionLogFilename = "c:/temp/httpSessionLog.txt"

// Try a simple HTTP GET and then examine the session log:
Dim html As String
html = http.QuickGetStr("http://www.chilkatsoft.com/httpTest/abc.html")
If (http.LastMethodSuccess <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(http.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// The contents of the session log file after doing 
// the GET request:

// 	---- Sending ----
