use chilkat();

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

$url = "https://example.com/something";
$jsonText = "{ ... }";

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The PostJson method is deprecated:

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

# ...
# ...

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

$responseOut = chilkat::CkHttpResponse->new();
$success = $http->HttpStr("POST",$url,$jsonText,"utf-8","application/json",$responseOut);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $http->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
