Perl Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Example: Http.HttpFile method

Shows how to use the HttpFile method to send an HTTP POST request with the contents of a file as the request body. The example sends the following request:

POST /api/v1/sites/123/deploys HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
Accept: */*
Accept-Encoding: gzip
Content-Type: application/zip
Content-Length: 123456

[binary data bytes of data.zip]

my $http = Chilkat2::Http->new;

my $localFilePath = 'C:/example/zips/data.zip';
my $url = 'https://example.com/api/v1/sites/123/deploys';

# Send a POST with the contents of the file in the binary HTTP request body.
my $resp = Chilkat2::HttpResponse->new;
my $success = $http->HttpFile('POST', $url, $localFilePath, 'application/zip', $resp);

    exit;
}

print 'Response Status Code: ', $resp->StatusCode, "\n";
