Dim http As New ChilkatHttp

' The PText method is deprecated:

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

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

Dim responseOut As New ChilkatHttpResponse
Dim success As Long
success = http.HttpStr(verb,url,textData,charset,contentType,responseOut)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print http.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If
