req.HttpVerb = "POST"

' Send an "Expect: 100-continue" header in the request.
' This causes the HTTP server to end a 100-continue response
' immediately after receiving the HTTP header. The client
' (Chilkat) will receive this intermediate response, and if
' it's not an error response, it knows that the HTTP server will
' accept the data that is forthcoming.
' The alternative is to get an error response after trying to upload
' the entire contents of the files.

' Call AddFileForUpload2 for each file to be uploaded in the HTTP multipart/form-data POST
' To allow Chilkat to determine the content-type automatically based on file-extension,
' call AddFileForUpload instead.
' The 1st arg is the filename passed in the HTTP request.
' The 2nd arg is the path in the local filesytem.
' The file is not loaded into memory. It is streamed directly from the file
' when the HTTP POST is sent.

' Its also possible to add a file from a string:
success = req.AddStringForUpload("test.xml","test.xml","<abc>This is the test.xml content</abc>","utf-8")
