$req.HttpVerb = "POST"

$req.LoadBodyFromString($json.Emit(),"utf-8")

#  Send the charset attribute in the HTTP request header.
$req.SendCharset = $true

#  The response will contain the raw body of the request that was sent.
#  (i.e. everything except the HTTP request header).

$resp = New-Object Chilkat.HttpResponse
$success = $http.HttpReq("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/echo_request_body.asp",$req,$resp)
