var os = require('os');
if (os.platform() == 'win32') {  
  var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-win64'); 
} else if (os.platform() == 'linux') {
    if (os.arch() == 'arm') {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-linux-arm');
    } else if (os.arch() == 'arm64') {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-linux-arm64');
    } else {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-linux-x64');
    }
} else if (os.platform() == 'darwin') {
  var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-mac-universal');
}

function chilkatExample() {

    var success = false;

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

    var http = new chilkat.Http();

    var jsonText = "{\"user\":\"doctoravatar@penzance.com\",\"forecast\":7,\"t\":\"vlIj\",\"zip\":94089}";

    // IMPORTANT: Make sure to change the URL, JSON text,
    // and other data items to your own values.  The URL used
    // in this example will not actually work.

    var resp = new chilkat.HttpResponse();
    success = http.HttpStr("POST","https://json.penzance.org/request",jsonText,"utf-8","application/json",resp);
    if (success == false) {
        console.log(http.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    // Display the JSON response.
    console.log(resp.BodyStr);
