import sys
import chilkat

http = chilkat.CkHttp()

url = "https://example.com/something"
requestBodyXml = "<something>...</something>"
charset = "utf-8"

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The PostXml method is deprecated:

# responseObj is a CkHttpResponse
responseObj = http.PostXml(url,requestBodyXml,charset)
if (http.get_LastMethodSuccess() == False):
    print(http.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# ...
# ...

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

responseOut = chilkat.CkHttpResponse()
success = http.HttpStr("POST",url,requestBodyXml,charset,"application/xml",responseOut)
if (success == False):
    print(http.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()
