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

-- Imagine a URL that contains two params: one named "xyz" and one named "name".
-- We want to send a POST to it, but with 2 additional params in the body of the request.
local url = "http://www.chilkatsoft.com/echoPost.asp?xyz=123&name=matt"

local http = chilkat.Http.new()

-- Provide a session log path so we can visually verify the exact request sent.
-- (This is only for debugging purposes.)
http.session_log_filename = "c:/temp/httpLog.txt"

-- Create an HTTP request that has two additional params
local req = chilkat.HttpRequest.new()

req.http_verb = "POST"
req.path = "/echoPost.asp?xyz=123&name=matt"
req:add_param("sport", "tennis")
req:add_param("tournament", "French Open")

-- Send the HTTP POST and get the response.
local resp = chilkat.HttpResponse.new()
local success = http:http_sreq("www.chilkatsoft.com", 80, false, req, resp)
if not success then
    print(http.last_error_text)
    return
end

print(resp.body_str)

print("Success.")
