Demonstrates sending an HTTP POST with a XML body. CkPython

# This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

http = chilkat.CkHttp()

# Implements the following CURL command:

# curl -X POST https://example.com/StockQuote \
#   -H "Host: www.example.org" \
#   -H "Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8" \
#   -H "SOAPAction: http://www.example.org/StockPrice" \
#   -d '<?xml version="1.0"?>
# 
# <soap:Envelope
# xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope/"
# soap:encodingStyle="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-encoding">
# 
# <soap:Body xmlns:m="http://www.example.org/stock">
#   <m:GetStockPrice>
#     <m:StockName>IBM</m:StockName>
#   </m:GetStockPrice>
# </soap:Body>
