HTTP POST (Duplicate Simple HTML Form POST)

Demonstrates how to duplicate a simple HTML form POST. Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

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

    let req = CkoHttpRequest()!
    let http = CkoHttp()!

    // This example simulates this FORM:
    // <form action="echoPost.asp" method="post">
    // First name: <input type="text" name="firstName"><br />
    // Last name: <input type="text" name="lastName"><br />
    // <input type="submit" value="Submit">
    // </form>
    // The online FORM is found at this URL:
    // https://www.chilkatsoft.com/simpleForm.html

    // Build an HTTP POST Request:
    req.httpVerb = "POST"

    // The FORM target is http://www.chilkatsoft.com/processPost.asp
    // An easy way of filling out most of the HTTP request object
    // is to call SetFromUrl:
    req.set(fromUrl: "https://www.chilkatsoft.com/echoPost.asp")

    // Send form params using application/x-www-form-urlencoded
    req.contentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

    // The only remaining task is to add the params to the 
    // HTTP request object:
    req.addParam(name: "firstName", value: "Matt")
    req.addParam(name: "lastName", value: "Jones")

    // Send the HTTP POST and get the response.
    // The POST is being sent to chilkatsoft.com, on port 443 (using TLS)
    var domain: String? = "chilkatsoft.com"
    var port: Int = 443
    var tls: Bool = true

    // The HTTP POST is sent here:
    let resp = CkoHttpResponse()!
    success = http.httpSReq(domain: domain, port: port, ssl: tls, request: req, response: resp)
    if success == false {
        print("\(http.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Display the HTML source of the page returned.
    print("\(resp.bodyStr!)")

}
