    //  This example simulates this FORM:

    //  First name: <input type="text" name="firstName"><br />
    //  Last name: <input type="text" name="lastName"><br />
    //  <input type="submit" value="Submit">
    //  </form>
    //  The online FORM is found at this URL:
    //  http://www.chilkatsoft.com/simpleForm.html

    //  Build an HTTP POST Request:
    req.UsePost();

    //  The FORM target is http://www.chilkatsoft.com/processPost.asp
    //  An easy way of filling out most of the HTTP request object
    //  is to call SetFromUrl:
    req.SetFromUrl("http://www.chilkatsoft.com/processPost.asp");

    //  The only remaining task is to add the params to the
    //  HTTP request object:
    req.AddParam("firstName","Matt");
    req.AddParam("lastName","Jones");

    //  Send the HTTP POST and get the response.
    //  The POST is being sent to chilkatsoft.com, on port 80
    //  (the default HTTP port), and not using SSL.
    const char * domain;
    long port;
    bool ssl;
    domain = "chilkatsoft.com";
    port = 80;
    ssl = false;

    //  The HTTP POST is sent here:
    CkHttpResponse *resp = 0;
    resp = http.SynchronousRequest(domain,port,ssl,req);
    if (resp == 0 ) {
        printf("%s\n",http.lastErrorText());
    }
    else {
        //  Display the HTML source of the page returned.
        printf("%s\n",resp->bodyStr());
