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

LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL loReq
LOCAL loHttp

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.
