Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

$success = $false

$http = New-Object Chilkat.Http
$success = $false

# This example will send an HTTP POST with the body of the HTTP request containing JSON.

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

$json = New-Object Chilkat.JsonObject
$json.UpdateString("name","Harry")
$json.UpdateString("state","FL")

# Specify the details of the request
$req = New-Object Chilkat.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"

# Send the POST
# 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-Object Chilkat.HttpResponse
$success = $http.HttpReq("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/echo_request_body.asp",$req,$resp)
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($http.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

# Examine the HTTP request header we sent:
$($http.LastHeader)

# The response body contains the raw content of the HTTP request body we sent.
$($resp.BodyStr)

# Sample output:

# 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"}
