Dim http As New Chilkat.Http

Dim url As String = "https://example.com/something"
Dim contentType As String = "application/json"
Dim json As New Chilkat.JsonObject
json.LoadFile("C:/temp/requestBody.json")

' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' The PostJson3 method is deprecated:

Dim responseObj As Chilkat.HttpResponse = http.PostJson3(url,contentType,json)
If (http.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' ...

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

Dim responseOut As New Chilkat.HttpResponse
Dim success As Boolean = http.HttpJson("POST",url,json,contentType,responseOut)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If
