use chilkat();

$http = chilkat::CkHttp->new();

$verb = "POST";
$url = "https://example.com/";
$localFilePath = "c:/temp/requestBodyContent.dat";
$contentType = "application/octet-stream";

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The PFile method is deprecated:

# responseObj is a HttpResponse
$responseObj = $http->PFile($verb,$url,$localFilePath,$contentType,0,0);
if ($http->get_LastMethodSuccess() == 0) {
    print $http->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# ...
# ...

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Do the equivalent using HttpFile.
# Your application creates a new, empty HttpResponse object which is passed 
# in the last argument and filled upon success.

$responseOut = chilkat::CkHttpResponse->new();
$success = $http->HttpFile($verb,$url,$localFilePath,$contentType,$responseOut);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $http->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
