Demonstrates how to send a POST with query params (x-www-form-urlencoded) using the Chilkat REST object. C++

#include <CkRest.h>

    bool success = false;

    // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    CkRest rest;

    // This example will send to https://www.chilkatsoft.com/echoPost.asp

    // Make the initial connection (without sending a request yet).
    bool bTls = true;
    int port = 443;
    bool bAutoReconnect = true;
    success = rest.Connect("www.chilkatsoft.com",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect);

        std::cout << rest.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    // Provide query params.
    rest.AddQueryParam("firstName","John");
