'  The PUT request to be sent will look like this:
'  
PUT /request HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/jsonrequest
Cookie: JSESSIONID=1234
Content-Encoding: identity
Host: json.penzance.org
Accept: application/jsonrequest
Accept-Encoding:
Content-Length: 72

{"user":"doctoravatar@penzance.com","forecast":7,"t":"vlIj","zip":94089}


'  First, remove default header fields that would be automatically
'  sent.  (These headers are harmless, and shouldn't need to
'  be suppressed, but just in case...)
http.AcceptCharset = ""
http.UserAgent = ""
http.AcceptLanguage = ""

'  Suppress the Accept-Encoding header by disallowing
'  a gzip response:
http.AllowGzip = 0

'  If a Cookie needs to be added, it may be added by calling
'  AddQuickHeader:
http.AddQuickHeader "Cookie","JSESSIONID=1234"

'  Add the Content-Encoding: identity header.
http.AddQuickHeader "Content-Encoding","identity"

'  Modify the default "Accept" header:
http.Accept = "application/jsonrequest"

jsonText = "{""user"":""doctoravatar@penzance.com"",""forecast"":7,""t"":""vlIj"",""zip"":94089}"

'  To use SSL/TLS, simply use "https://" in the URL.

'  IMPORTANT: Make sure to change the URL, JSON text,
'  and other data items to your own values.  The URL used
'  in this example will not actually work.
