Dim success As Long
success = 0

Dim http As New ChilkatHttp

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

' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' The PFile method is deprecated:

Dim responseObj As ChilkatHttpResponse
Set responseObj = http.PFile(verb,url,localFilePath,contentType,0,0)
If (http.LastMethodSuccess = 0) Then
    Debug.Print http.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' ...

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

Dim responseOut As New ChilkatHttpResponse
success = http.HttpFile(verb,url,localFilePath,contentType,responseOut)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print http.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
