llSuccess = .F.

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

loReq = createobject("CkHttpRequest")
loHttp = createobject("CkHttp")

// If any custom headers need to be included with the POST, add them
// by calling SetRequestHeader

// Note: An application should never explicitly set the Content-Length header.
// The Content-Length is automatically computed and added by Chilkat.

// Here are some examples of custom headers.  

// Perhaps your particular app needs some sort of custom-computed Authorization header...
loHttp.SetRequestHeader("Authorization","my-custom-computed-auth-value")

// Another custom header for some hypothetical app:
loHttp.SetRequestHeader("X-Pass-Timestamp","my-custom-computed-timestamp-value")

// The following "Accept" header may be set, but it really isn't necessary:
loHttp.SetRequestHeader("Accept","application/json")

lcJsonText = "{ some JSON text ... }"

// To use SSL/TLS, simply use "https://" in the URL.

loResp = createobject("CkHttpResponse")
llSuccess = loHttp.HttpStr("POST","http://www.someserver.com/someJsonEndpoint",lcJsonText,"utf-8","application/json",loResp)
if (llSuccess = .F.) then
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    release loReq
    release loHttp
    release loResp

// Display the JSON response.
