# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The SynchronousRequest method is deprecated:

$responseObj = $http.SynchronousRequest($domain,$port,$tls,$req)
if ($http.LastMethodSuccess -eq $false) {
    $($http.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

# ...
# ...

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

$responseOut = New-Object Chilkat.HttpResponse
$success = $http.HttpSReq($domain,$port,$tls,$req,$responseOut)
if ($success -eq $false) {
