import sys
import chilkat2

success = False

http = chilkat2.Http()
req = chilkat2.HttpRequest()

req.ContentType = "application/json"
req.Path = "/echo_request_body.asp"

requestBody = "{\"greeting\":\"Hello World\"}"
req.LoadBodyFromString(requestBody,"utf-8")

# Send a POST to https://chilkatsoft.com/echo_request_body.asp with a JSON request body.
success = http.HttpSReq("chilkatsoft.com",443,True,req,resp)
if (success == False):
    print(http.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

print("Response Status Code: " + str(resp.StatusCode))

# 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.
print(http.LastHeader)
print(resp.BodyStr)

# Output:

# POST /echo_request_body.asp HTTP/1.1
# Host: chilkatsoft.com
# Content-Type: application/json
# Content-Length: 26
