JavaScript
var success = false;

var http = new CkHttp();
success = false;

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

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

var json = new CkJsonObject();
json.UpdateString("name","Harry");
json.UpdateString("state","FL");

// Specify the details of the request
var req = new CkHttpRequest();

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

// Send the charset attribute in the HTTP request header.
req.SendCharset = true;
req.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).

var resp = new CkHttpResponse();
success = http.HttpReq("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/echo_request_body.asp",req,resp);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Examine the HTTP request header we sent:
console.log(http.LastHeader);

// The response body contains the raw content of the HTTP request body we sent.
console.log(resp.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"}
