' The SynchronousRequest method is deprecated:

Dim responseObj As ChilkatHttpResponse
Set responseObj = http.SynchronousRequest(domain,port,tls,req)
If (http.LastMethodSuccess = 0) Then
    Debug.Print http.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Do the equivalent using HttpSReq.
' 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.HttpSReq(domain,port,tls,req,responseOut)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print http.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If
