#  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.

#  Tell the HTTP component to save any cookies received.  Also tell the component to
#  re-send cookies with subsequent GETs and POSTs.

#  Build an HTTP upload request:
req.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
req.put_Path("/exec/panama/seller-admin/catalog-upload/add-modify-delete")

#  Load the inventory file into the HTTPS request:
success = req.AddFileForUpload("myInventory","myInventory.txt")
if (success != True):
    print req.lastErrorText()
    sys.exit()

#  Setting your login/password causes Chilkat to automatically add the Authorization header:
http.put_Login("YourLoginEmailAddress")
http.put_Password("YourPassword")

# call req.AddHeader("BatchID", "Y");
req.AddHeader("FileFormat","TabDelimited")
req.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.
