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

' The goal of this example is to send the following HTTP POST:

' POST https://your-namespace-sb.accesscontrol.windows.net/WRAPv0.9/ HTTP/1.1  
' Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded  
' Host: your-namespace-sb.accesscontrol.windows.net  
' Content-Length: 136  
' Expect: 100-continue  
' Connection: Keep-Alive  
' 
' wrap_name=owner&wrap_password=r8LuxCKD6DWY8auQcFql4M7euH2UuhcLcV1TaJTqNNE%3d&wrap_scope=http%3a%2f%2fyour-namespace.servicebus.windows.net%2f
' 

Dim http As New ChilkatHttp
Dim req As New ChilkatHttpRequest

' Build the HTTP request...
req.HttpVerb = "POST"
req.Path = "/WRAPv0.9/"
req.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

' Adding the Connection: Keep-Alive is optional.  It only makes sense if the intent is to send
' additional requests to the same domain (your-namespace-sb.accesscontrol.windows.net) within a reasonable time period.
req.AddHeader "Connection","Keep-Alive"

' The Expect: 100-continue really isn't necessary.  This only makes sense when a response is large.  The "100-continue"
' provides a means for the HTTP server to alert the HTTP client that the request failed before sending the full response.
' In this case, the response size is small, so there's no real need to bother with an "Expect: 100-continue".
' If desired, it would be added just like any request header:
req.AddHeader "Expect","100-continue"

' Note: The following headers are automatically added by Chilkat:  Content-Type, Host, Content-Length.
' The application should NOT set these directly.

' Add the query parameters
' When URL decoded and split, the query params look like this:
' 
' 	wrap_name=owner
' 	wrap_password=r8LuxCKD6DWY8auQcFql4M7euH2UuhcLcV1TaJTqNNE=
' 	wrap_scope=http://your-namespace.servicebus.windows.net/

' Pass the URL-decoded values to AddParam.
req.AddParam "wrap_name","owner"
req.AddParam "wrap_password","r8LuxCKD6DWY8auQcFql4M7euH2UuhcLcV1TaJTqNNE="
req.AddParam "wrap_scope","http://your-namespace.servicebus.windows.net/"

' OK.. our request is properly setup.  Now send to the web server at your-namespace-sb.accesscontrol.windows.net.
' We want https (i.e. SSL/TLS), so the port would be 443.
Dim useTls As Long
useTls = 1
Dim resp As New ChilkatHttpResponse
success = http.HttpSReq("your-namespace-sb.accesscontrol.windows.net",443,useTls,req,resp)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print http.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' A successful response will have a status code = 200.
If (resp.StatusCode <> 200) Then
    Debug.Print "Response Status Code = " & resp.StatusCode
    Debug.Print resp.BodyStr
    Debug.Print "Failed."
    Exit Sub
End If

' A successful response will contain a URL encoded param string such as the following:

' 	wrap_access_token=net.windows.servicebus.action%3d
' 	Listen%252cManage%252cSend%26
' 	http%253a%252f%252fschemas.microsoft.com%252faccesscontrolservice%252f2010%252f07%252fclaims%252fidentityprovider%3d
' 	https%253a%252f%252fyour-namespace-sb.accesscontrol.windows.net%252f%26
' 	Audience%3dhttp%253a%252f%252fyour-namespace.servicebus.windows.net%252f%26
' 	ExpiresOn%3d1404435127%26
' 	Issuer%3dhttps%253a%252f%252fyour-namespace-sb.accesscontrol.windows.net%252f%26
' 	HMACSHA256%3dF%252bBoXUoifWdT%252fly8Oic9V1oPBbc3KmXKbSJbVhGSopU%253d&
' 	wrap_access_token_expires_in=10799
' 

' The UrlEncParamValue method can be used to extract individual param values by name.
' There are two params in the response: wrap_access_token and wrap_access_token_expires.
' (It's a bit confusing because the value of the wrap_access_token is itself a URL encoded 
' param string.)

' Get the access token from the response:
Dim accessToken As String
accessToken = resp.UrlEncParamValue(resp.BodyStr,"wrap_access_token")

Debug.Print "Your access token is the following param string:"
Debug.Print accessToken
