Local $bSuccess = False

$oHttp = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Http")
$bSuccess = False

$oJson = ObjCreate("Chilkat.JsonObject")

;  Build the following JSON:  {"greeting":"Hello World"}
$oJson.UpdateString("greeting","Hello World")

;  This URL echoes the contents of the request body, letting us view it.
Local $sUrl = "https://chilkatsoft.com/echo_request_body.asp"

;  Send a POST with the JSON in the HTTP request body.
$oResp = ObjCreate("Chilkat.HttpResponse")
$bSuccess = $oHttp.HttpJson("POST",$sUrl,$oJson,"application/json",$oResp)
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oHttp.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

ConsoleWrite("Response Status Code: " & $oResp.StatusCode & @CRLF)

;  Examine the request we sent.
;  The LastHeader property stores the HTTP request header of the most recent request sent,
;  and in this instance, the response body mirrors the request body.
ConsoleWrite($oHttp.LastHeader & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite($oResp.BodyStr & @CRLF)

;  Output:

;  POST /echo_request_body.asp HTTP/1.1
;  Host: chilkatsoft.com
;  Accept: */*
;  Accept-Encoding: gzip
;  Content-Type: application/json
;  Content-Length: 26
;  
;  {"greeting":"Hello World"}
