HTTP POST (Duplicate Simple HTML Form POST)

Demonstrates how to duplicate a simple HTML form POST. Lianja

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")

// 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
llTls = .T.

// The HTTP POST is sent here:
loResp = createobject("CkHttpResponse")
llSuccess = loHttp.HttpSReq(lcDomain,lnPort,llTls,loReq,loResp)
if (llSuccess = .F.) then
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    release loReq
    release loHttp
    release loResp
    return
endif

// Display the HTML source of the page returned.
? loResp.BodyStr


release loReq
release loHttp
