Demonstrates how to call the HttpSReq method. CkPython

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

http = chilkat.CkHttp()
req = chilkat.CkHttpRequest()
resp = chilkat.CkHttpResponse()

# Specify the details of the HTTP request.
req.put_HttpVerb("POST")
req.put_ContentType("application/json")
req.put_Path("/echo_request_body.asp")

requestBody = "{\"greeting\":\"Hello World\"}"
req.LoadBodyFromString(requestBody,"utf-8")

# Send a POST to https://chilkatsoft.com/echo_request_body.asp with a JSON request body.
success = http.HttpSReq("chilkatsoft.com",443,True,req,resp)
if (success == False):
    print(http.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

print("Response Status Code: " + str(resp.get_StatusCode()))

# Examine the request we sent.
# The LastHeader property stores the HTTP request header of the most recent request sent,
# and in this instance, the response body mirrors the request body.
print(http.lastHeader())
print(resp.bodyStr())

# Output:

# POST /echo_request_body.asp HTTP/1.1
# Host: chilkatsoft.com
# Content-Type: application/json
# Content-Length: 26
# 
# {"greeting":"Hello World"}
