    //  Any string unlocks the component for the 1st 30-days.
    success = http.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial");

    //  Build a HTTPS upload request with the files to be uploaded:
    CkHttpRequest req;
    req.UseUpload();

    //  The URL we'll be posting to is:
    //  http://www.yourwebserver123abc.com/ConsumeUpload.aspx
    //  Therefore, the path part of the URL is:
    req.put_Path("/ConsumeUpload.aspx");

    //  Note: You'll need to edit this example to upload to your
    //  own web server.

    //  Add some files to the request:
    //  The 1st argument is an arbitrary name.  It's the POST form field name.
    //  The 2nd argument is the filename currently existing on
    //  the local filesystem.  It may include an absolute or relative
    //  path, or no path at all if it's in the current working directory.
    success = req.AddFileForUpload("file1","hamlet.xml");
    if (success != true) {
        printf("%s\n",req.lastErrorText());

        return;
    }

    //  Send the HTTPS POST and get the response.  Note: This is a blocking call.
    //  The method does not return until the full HTTPS response is received.
    CkString domain;
    int port;
    bool ssl;
    domain = "www.yourwebserver123abc.com";
    //  The only difference in coding between non-SSL and SSL is
    //  the setting of these two arguments to SynchronousRequest:
    port = 443;
    ssl = true;
    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());
    }
