Local $bSuccess = False

$oHttp = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Http")

Local $sUrl = "https://www.chilkatsoft.com/echoPost.asp"

$oReq = ObjCreate("Chilkat.HttpRequest")
$oReq.AddParam "company","example"
$oReq.AddParam "ip","111.111.111.111"
$oReq.AddParam "url","example.com"

; ------------------------------------------------------------------------
; The PostUrlEncoded method is deprecated:

Local $oResponseObj = $oHttp.PostUrlEncoded($sUrl,$oReq)
If ($oHttp.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oHttp.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; ...
; ...

; ------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Do the equivalent using HttpReq.
; Your application creates a new, empty HttpResponse object which is passed 
; in the last argument and filled upon success.

$oReq2 = ObjCreate("Chilkat.HttpRequest")
$oReq2.AddParam "company","example"
$oReq2.AddParam "ip","111.111.111.111"
$oReq2.AddParam "url","example.com"

$oReq2.HttpVerb = "POST"
$oReq2.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

$oResp = ObjCreate("Chilkat.HttpResponse")
$bSuccess = $oHttp.HttpReq($sUrl,$oReq2,$oResp)
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oHttp.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf
