func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

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

    // The ContentType, HttpVerb, and Path properties should
    // always be explicitly set.
    let req = CkoHttpRequest()!
    req.httpVerb = "POST"
    req.path = "/receiveMyUpload.aspx"
    req.contentType = "multipart/form-data"

    req.addString(forUpload: "fileA", filename: "fileA.txt", strData: "This is the contents of file A", charset: "utf-8")
    success = req.addFile(forUpload: "starfish.jpg", path: "qa_data/jpg/starfish.jpg")
    if success == false {
        print("\(req.lastErrorText!)")
        return

    // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // IMPORTANT:
    // HTTP uploads require a counterpart implementation on the server, written in any desired language
    // such as C#, Classic ASP, PHP, etc., which consumes the upload being sent.
    // See: ASP.NET Receive Upload
    // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    // Do the upload.

    let resp = CkoHttpResponse()!
    success = http.httpSReq(domain: "www.example.com", port: 443, ssl: useSslTls, request: req, response: resp)
    if success == false {
