    var http = new chilkat.Http();

    // Specify the details of the HTTP request.
    req.HttpVerb = "POST";

    req.Path = "/echo_request_body.asp";

    var requestBody = "{\"greeting\":\"Hello World\"}";
    req.LoadBodyFromString(requestBody,"utf-8");

    // Send a POST to https://chilkatsoft.com/echo_request_body.asp with a JSON request body.
    success = http.HttpSReq("chilkatsoft.com",443,true,req,resp);

        console.log(http.LastErrorText);
        return;

    console.log("Response Status Code: " + resp.StatusCode);

    // Examine the request we sent.
    // The LastHeader property stores the HTTP request header of the most recent request sent,
    // and in this instance, the response body mirrors the request body.
    console.log(http.LastHeader);
    console.log(resp.BodyStr);

    // Output:
