*  The CookieDir may be set to "memory" to keep an in-memory cache of cookies.
*  Alternatively, you may set it to a directory, such as "c:/temp/cookies".  If you do that,
*  you can visually browse the cookies which will appear as XML files in the CookieDir.
loHttp.CookieDir = "memory"

*  Tell the HTTP component to save any cookies received.  Also tell the component to
*  re-send cookies with subsequent GETs and POSTs.
loHttp.SendCookies = 1
loHttp.SaveCookies = 1

*  Build an HTTP upload request:
loReq.UseUpload()

*  The path may be one of these 3 choices:
*  /exec/panama/seller-admin/catalog-upload/add-modify-delete
*  /exec/panama/seller-admin/catalog-upload/modify-only
*  /exec/panama/seller-admin/catalog-upload/purge-replace
loReq.Path = "/exec/panama/seller-admin/catalog-upload/add-modify-delete"

*  Load the inventory file into the HTTPS request:
lnSuccess = loReq.AddFileForUpload("myInventory","myInventory.txt")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    =MESSAGEBOX(loReq.LastErrorText)
    QUIT
ENDIF

*  Setting your login/password causes Chilkat to automatically add the Authorization header:
loHttp.Login = "YourLoginEmailAddress"
loHttp.Password = "YourPassword"

* call req.AddHeader("BatchID", "Y");
loReq.AddHeader("FileFormat","TabDelimited")
loReq.AddHeader("UploadFor","MarketplaceOnly")

*  Send the HTTP POST and get the response.  Note: This is a blocking call.
*  The method does not return until the full HTTP response is received.
