'  
Dim WithEvents http As ChilkatHttp

Private Sub Command4_Click()

    Set http = New ChilkatHttp
    
    http.UnlockComponent "Anything for 30-day trial"

    ' You may use this exact URL for testing.
    ' The full URL is a combination of the hostname passed to
    ' SynchronousRequest (below) and the req.Path.  In this case,
    ' it is http://www.chilkatsoft.com/cgi-bin/ConsumeUpload.exe
    Dim req As New ChilkatHttpRequest

    req.AddFileForUpload "file1", "hamlet.xml"
