Local $bSuccess = False

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

; This example will send an HTTP POST with the body of the HTTP request containing JSON.

; Create the following JSON: { "name": "Harry", "state": "FL" }

$oJson = ObjCreate("Chilkat.JsonObject")
$oJson.UpdateString("name","Harry")
$oJson.UpdateString("state","FL")

; Specify the details of the request
$oReq = ObjCreate("Chilkat.HttpRequest")

$oReq.HttpVerb = "POST"
$oReq.ContentType = "application/json"
$oReq.LoadBodyFromString($oJson.Emit(),"utf-8")

; Send the charset attribute in the HTTP request header.
$oReq.SendCharset = True
$oReq.Charset = "utf-8"

; Send the POST
; You can send the POST to the URL below.  
; The response will contain the raw body of the request that was sent.
; (i.e. everything except the HTTP request header).

$oResp = ObjCreate("Chilkat.HttpResponse")
$bSuccess = $oHttp.HttpReq("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/echo_request_body.asp",$oReq,$oResp)
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oHttp.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; Examine the HTTP request header we sent:
ConsoleWrite($oHttp.LastHeader & @CRLF)

; The response body contains the raw content of the HTTP request body we sent.
ConsoleWrite($oResp.BodyStr & @CRLF)

; Sample output:

; POST /echo_request_body.asp HTTP/1.1
; Host: www.chilkatsoft.com
; Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
; Content-Length: 29
;
