Do an HTTPS POST with a binary request body. Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

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

    let http = CkoHttp()!

    let fac = CkoFileAccess()!

    var reqBody: NSData
    reqBody = fac.readEntireFile(path: "qa_data/pdf/helloWorld.pdf")

    let resp = CkoHttpResponse()!
    success = http.httpBinary(verb: "POST", url: "https://example.com/something", byteData: reqBody, contentType: "application/pdf", response: resp)
    if success == false {
        print("\(http.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    var responseStatusCode: Int = resp.statusCode.intValue
    print("Status code: \(responseStatusCode)")

    // For example, if the response is XML, JSON, HTML, etc.
    print("response body:")
    print("\(resp.bodyStr!)")
