Dim http As New Chilkat.Http

Dim url As String = "https://example.com/something"
Dim requestBodyXml As String = "<something>...</something>"
Dim charset As String = "utf-8"

' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' The PostXml method is deprecated:

Dim responseObj As Chilkat.HttpResponse = http.PostXml(url,requestBodyXml,charset)
If (http.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(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 Chilkat.HttpResponse
Dim success As Boolean = http.HttpStr("POST",url,requestBodyXml,charset,"application/xml",responseOut)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If
