success: Integer;
http: TChilkatHttp;
verb: WideString;
url: WideString;
localFilePath: WideString;
contentType: WideString;
responseObj: IChilkatHttpResponse;
responseOut: TChilkatHttpResponse;

verb := 'POST';
url := 'https://example.com/';
localFilePath := 'c:/temp/requestBodyContent.dat';
contentType := 'application/octet-stream';

//  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
//  The PFile method is deprecated:

responseObj := http.PFile(verb,url,localFilePath,contentType,0,0);
if (http.LastMethodSuccess = 0) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(http.LastErrorText);
    Exit;
  end;

//  ...

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

responseOut := TChilkatHttpResponse.Create(Self);
