llSuccess = .F.

loHttp = createobject("CkHttp")
llSuccess = .F.

// 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("CkJsonObject")
loJson.UpdateString("name","Harry")
loJson.UpdateString("state","FL")

// Specify the details of the request
loReq = createobject("CkHttpRequest")

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

// Send the charset attribute in the HTTP request header.
loReq.SendCharset = .T.
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("CkHttpResponse")
llSuccess = loHttp.HttpReq("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/echo_request_body.asp",loReq,loResp)
if (llSuccess = .F.) then
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    release loHttp
    release loJson
    release loReq
    release loResp
    return
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"}
