#  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

http = Chilkat::CkHttp.new()

strXml = "<TransactionSetup xmlns=\"https://xyz.com\"><Credentials><AccountID>XXX</AccountID></Credentials></TransactionSetup>"

#  Choose a content-type.  Typical content types for XML POSTs are "application/xml" or "text/xml".
http.SetRequestHeader("Content-Type","text/xml")

#  Maybe you need other headers?
http.SetRequestHeader("Accept","text/xml")

# resp is a CkHttpResponse
resp = http.PostXml("https://www.somewebsite.com/",strXml,"utf-8")
if (http.get_LastMethodSuccess() != true)
    print http.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

#  Examine the response status code:
print "response status code = " + resp.get_StatusCode().to_s() + "\n";

#  Examine the response body:
print "response body: " + resp.bodyStr() + "\n";
