Dim req As New Chilkat.HttpRequest()
req.AddParam("url","http://www.chilkatsoft.com/")

'  https://api.del.icio.us/v1/posts/add?....
' 
'  The domain = api.del.icio.us
'  We're using HTTPS, so the port = 443, and we set the SSL argument to true (below)
'  The "path" part of the URL is "/v1/posts/add"

'  Send the HTTPS GET and get the response.  Note: This is a blocking call.
'  The method does not return until the full HTTPS response is received.
