func chilkatTest() {
    let http = CkoHttp()!

    var verb: String? = "POST"
    var url: String? = "https://example.com/"
    var localFilePath: String? = "c:/temp/requestBodyContent.dat"
    var contentType: String? = "application/octet-stream"

    // ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // The PFile method is deprecated:

    var responseObj: CkoHttpResponse? = http.pFile(verb, url: url, localFilePath: localFilePath, contentType: contentType, md5: false, gzip: false)
    if http.lastMethodSuccess == false {
        print("\(http.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // ...
    // ...

    responseObj = nil

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

    let responseOut = CkoHttpResponse()!
    var success: Bool = http.httpFile(verb, url: url, localFilePath: localFilePath, contentType: contentType, response: responseOut)
    if success == false {
        print("\(http.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }
