Demonstrates how to duplicate a simple HTML form POST. Visual FoxPro

LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL loReq
LOCAL loHttp
LOCAL lcDomain
LOCAL lnPort
LOCAL lnTls
LOCAL loResp

lnSuccess = 0

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

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

*  This example simulates this FORM:
*  <form action="echoPost.asp" method="post">
*  First name: <input type="text" name="firstName"><br />
*  Last name: <input type="text" name="lastName"><br />
*  <input type="submit" value="Submit">
*  </form>
*  The online FORM is found at this URL:
*  https://www.chilkatsoft.com/simpleForm.html

*  Build an HTTP POST Request:
loReq.HttpVerb = "POST"

*  The FORM target is http://www.chilkatsoft.com/processPost.asp
*  An easy way of filling out most of the HTTP request object
*  is to call SetFromUrl:
loReq.SetFromUrl("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/echoPost.asp")

*  Send form params using application/x-www-form-urlencoded
loReq.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

*  The only remaining task is to add the params to the 
*  HTTP request object:
loReq.AddParam("firstName","Matt")
loReq.AddParam("lastName","Jones")

*  Send the HTTP POST and get the response.
*  The POST is being sent to chilkatsoft.com, on port 443 (using TLS)
lcDomain = "chilkatsoft.com"
lnPort = 443
lnTls = 1

*  The HTTP POST is sent here:
loResp = CreateObject('Chilkat.HttpResponse')
lnSuccess = loHttp.HttpSReq(lcDomain,lnPort,lnTls,loReq,loResp)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loReq
    RELEASE loHttp
    RELEASE loResp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

*  Display the HTML source of the page returned.
