require 'chilkat'

success = false

http = Chilkat::CkHttp.new()
req = Chilkat::CkHttpRequest.new()
resp = Chilkat::CkHttpResponse.new()

# 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() + "\n";
    exit
end

print "Response Status Code: " + resp.get_StatusCode().to_s() + "\n";

# 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() + "\n";
print resp.bodyStr() + "\n";

# Output:

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