    //  This example will send an HTTP POST with the body of the HTTP request containing JSON.

    //  Create the following JSON: { "name": "Harry", "state": "FL" }

    CkJsonObjectW json;

    //  Send the charset attribute in the HTTP request header.
    req.put_SendCharset(true);
    req.put_Charset(L"utf-8");

    //  Send the POST
    //  You can send the POST to the URL below.  
    //  The response will contain the raw body of the request that was sent.
    //  (i.e. everything except the HTTP request header).

    CkHttpResponseW resp;
    success = http.HttpReq(L"https://www.chilkatsoft.com/echo_request_body.asp",req,resp);
    if (success == false) {
        wprintf(L"%s\n",http.lastErrorText());

    //  Examine the HTTP request header we sent:
    wprintf(L"%s\n",http.lastHeader());

    //  The response body contains the raw content of the HTTP request body we sent.
    wprintf(L"%s\n",resp.bodyStr());

    //  Sample output:
