import sys
import chilkat

req = chilkat.CkHttpRequest()
http = chilkat.CkHttp()

#  Any string unlocks the component for the 1st 30-days.
success = http.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial")
if (success != True):
    print http.lastErrorText()
    sys.exit()

#  Before doing the POST, do a simple GET for the purpose of obtaining a Cookie.
#  The Cookie contains a session-id and a session-id-time, and these values must
#  be current.

#  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.
http.put_CookieDir("memory")

#  Tell the HTTP component to save any cookies received.  Also tell the component to
#  re-send cookies with subsequent GETs and POSTs.
http.put_SendCookies(True)
http.put_SaveCookies(True)

#  Do a GET to retrieve our Cookie...

html = http.quickGetStr("https://secure.amazon.com/exec/panama/seller-admin/manual-reports/get-report-status")

#  Build an HTTP POST Request:
req.UsePost()
req.put_Path("/exec/panama/seller-admin/manual-reports/get-report-status")

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

#  NOTE: Do not explicitly add the Cookie header.  It is added automatically by Chilkat HTTP.
req.AddHeader("Content-Type","text/xml")

req.AddHeader("NumberofReports","2")
req.AddHeader("ReportName","OpenListingsLite")

#  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.

domain = "secure.amazon.com"
port = 443

resp = http.SynchronousRequest(domain,port,ssl,req)
if (resp == None ):
    print http.lastErrorText()
