Dim success As Long

Dim url As String

' The PostUrlEncoded method is deprecated:

    Debug.Print http.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

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

Dim req2 As New ChilkatHttpRequest
req2.AddParam "company","example"
req2.AddParam "ip","111.111.111.111"
req2.AddParam "url","example.com"

req2.HttpVerb = "POST"
req2.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

Dim resp As New ChilkatHttpResponse
success = http.HttpReq(url,req2,resp)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print http.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If
