    // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    req = CkHttpRequestW_Create();
    http = CkHttpW_Create();

    // 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...)
    CkHttpW_putAcceptCharset(http,L"");
    CkHttpW_putUserAgent(http,L"");
    CkHttpW_putAcceptLanguage(http,L"");

    // Suppress the Accept-Encoding header by disallowing 
    // a gzip response:
    CkHttpW_putAllowGzip(http,FALSE);

    // If a Cookie needs to be added...
    CkHttpW_SetRequestHeader(http,L"Cookie",L"JSESSIONID=1234");

    // Add the Content-Encoding: identity header.
    CkHttpW_SetRequestHeader(http,L"Content-Encoding",L"identity");

    // Modify the default "Accept" header:
    CkHttpW_putAccept(http,L"application/jsonrequest");

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

    // 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.

    resp = CkHttpResponseW_Create();
    success = CkHttpW_HttpStr(http,L"PUT",L"http://json.penzance.org/request",jsonText,L"utf-8",L"application/jsonrequest",resp);
    if (success == FALSE) {
        wprintf(L"%s\n",CkHttpW_lastErrorText(http));
