function chilkatExample() {

    var success = false;

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

    var req = new chilkat.HttpRequest();
    var http = new chilkat.Http();

    //  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...
    http.SetRequestHeader("Authorization","my-custom-computed-auth-value");

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

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

    var jsonText = "{ some JSON text ... }";

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

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

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