lnSuccess = 0

loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')
loReq = CreateObject('Chilkat.HttpRequest')
loResp = CreateObject('Chilkat.HttpResponse')

* Specify the details of the HTTP request.
loReq.HttpVerb = "POST"
loReq.ContentType = "application/json"
loReq.Path = "/echo_request_body.asp"

lcRequestBody = '{"greeting":"Hello World"}'
loReq.LoadBodyFromString(lcRequestBody,"utf-8")

* Send a POST to https://chilkatsoft.com/echo_request_body.asp with a JSON request body.
lnSuccess = loHttp.HttpSReq("chilkatsoft.com",443,1,loReq,loResp)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loHttp
    RELEASE loReq
    RELEASE loResp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

? "Response Status Code: " + STR(loResp.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.
? loHttp.LastHeader
? loResp.BodyStr

* Output:

* POST /echo_request_body.asp HTTP/1.1
* Host: chilkatsoft.com
* Content-Type: application/json
* Content-Length: 26
* 
* {"greeting":"Hello World"}
