import sys
import chilkat2

http = chilkat2.Http()

url = "https://example.com/something"
contentType = "application/json"
jsonText = "{ ... }"

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The PostJson2 method is deprecated:

# responseObj is a CkHttpResponse
responseObj = http.PostJson2(url,contentType,jsonText)
if (http.LastMethodSuccess == False):
    print(http.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# ...
# ...

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

responseOut = chilkat2.HttpResponse()
success = http.HttpStr("POST",url,jsonText,"utf-8",contentType,responseOut)
if (success == False):
    print(http.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()
