<?php

use Chilkat2\Http;
use Chilkat2\HttpRequest;
use Chilkat2\HttpResponse;
use Chilkat2\JsonObject;

// Create the following JSON: { "name": "Harry", "state": "FL" }

$json = new JsonObject();
$json->UpdateString('name', 'Harry');
$json->UpdateString('state', 'FL');

// Specify the details of the request
$req = new HttpRequest();

$req->HttpVerb = 'POST';
$req->ContentType = 'application/json';
$req->LoadBodyFromString($json->Emit(), 'utf-8');

// Send the charset attribute in the HTTP request header.
$req->SendCharset = true;
$req->Charset = 'utf-8';

// You can send the POST to the URL below.
// The response will contain the raw body of the request that was sent.
// (i.e. everything except the HTTP request header).

$resp = new HttpResponse();
try {
    $http->HttpReq('https://www.chilkatsoft.com/echo_request_body.asp', $req, $resp);
} catch (\Chilkat2\Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage(), "\n";

// POST /echo_request_body.asp HTTP/1.1
// Host: www.chilkatsoft.com
// Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
// Content-Length: 29
//
//
// {"name":"Harry","state":"FL"}
