Demonstrates sending an HTTP POST with a XML body. C#

bool success = false;

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

Chilkat.Http http = new Chilkat.Http();

//  Implements the following CURL command:

//  curl -X POST https://example.com/StockQuote \
//    -H "Host: www.example.org" \
//    -H "Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8" \
//    -H "SOAPAction: http://www.example.org/StockPrice" \
//    -d '<?xml version="1.0"?>
//  
//  <soap:Envelope
//  xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope/"
//  soap:encodingStyle="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-encoding">
//  
//  <soap:Body xmlns:m="http://www.example.org/stock">
//    <m:GetStockPrice>
//      <m:StockName>IBM</m:StockName>
//    </m:GetStockPrice>
//  </soap:Body>
//  
//  </soap:Envelope>'
