Zig Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Example: Http.HttpParams method

Demonstrates the HttpParams method. Zig

const std = @import("std");
const chilkat = @import("chilkat");

pub fn main(init: std.process.Init) !void {
    const alloc = init.arena.allocator();

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

    const http = try chilkat.Http.init();
    defer http.deinit();

    // Demonstrate sending a GET request with query parameters.
    const query_params = try chilkat.JsonObject.init();
    defer query_params.deinit();

    query_params.updateString("email", "joe@example.com") catch {};

    // Set a session log filename so we can examine the exact request that is sent.
    const session_log_path = "c:/temp/qa_output/sessionLog.txt";
    http.setSessionLogFilename(session_log_path);

    // Send the GET request to an endpoint.  We don't care about the response. The purpose of this example
    // is to see the exact HTTP request that is sent..
    const resp = try chilkat.HttpResponse.init();

    // This is the exact GET request that was sent.
    // Notice how each query parameter is URL encoded and added to the HTTP start line of the request.
