' Variables can also be used within the HTTP request body.
' Variable names are enclosed between {{ and }}

' Here is a curl command with two variables {{name}} and {{age}} located in the data.

' curl -X POST https://api.example.com/data \
'   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
'   -d '{"name":"{{name}}","age":{{age}}}'

set sbCurl = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.StringBuilder")

set curl = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.HttpCurl")

' Provide values for variables.
curl.SetVar "name","Alice"
curl.SetVar "age","30"

' To demonstrate how the variables are replaced, this example does not execute the curl command. 
' Instead, it generates the raw HTTP request that would be sent if the curl command were run.
set sbRawRequest = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.StringBuilder")

' Output:

' POST /data HTTP/1.1
' Host: api.example.com
' Content-Type: application/json
' Content-Length: 25
