lnSuccess = 0

loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')
lnSuccess = 0

* This example will send an HTTP POST with the body of the HTTP request containing JSON.

* Create the following JSON: { "name": "Harry", "state": "FL" }

loJson = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loJson.UpdateString("name","Harry")
loJson.UpdateString("state","FL")

* Specify the details of the request
loReq = CreateObject('Chilkat.HttpRequest')

loReq.HttpVerb = "POST"
loReq.ContentType = "application/json"
loReq.LoadBodyFromString(loJson.Emit(),"utf-8")

* Send the charset attribute in the HTTP request header.
loReq.SendCharset = 1
loReq.Charset = "utf-8"

* Send the POST
* You can send the POST to the URL below.  
* The response will contain the raw body of the request that was sent.
* (i.e. everything except the HTTP request header).

loResp = CreateObject('Chilkat.HttpResponse')
lnSuccess = loHttp.HttpReq("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/echo_request_body.asp",loReq,loResp)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loHttp
    RELEASE loJson
    RELEASE loReq
    RELEASE loResp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Examine the HTTP request header we sent:
? loHttp.LastHeader

* The response body contains the raw content of the HTTP request body we sent.
? loResp.BodyStr

* Sample output:

* POST /echo_request_body.asp HTTP/1.1
* Host: www.chilkatsoft.com
* Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
* Content-Length: 29
* 
* 
* {"name":"Harry","state":"FL"}
