Dim http As New Chilkat.Http

Dim domain As String = "example.com"
Dim port As Integer = 443
Dim tls As Integer = True

Dim req As New Chilkat.HttpRequest
req.HttpVerb = "POST"
req.Path = "/some/path"
req.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
req.AddParam("firstName","Matt")
req.AddParam("lastName","Smith")

' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' The SynchronousRequest method is deprecated:

Dim responseObj As Chilkat.HttpResponse = http.SynchronousRequest(domain,port,tls,req)
If (http.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(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 Chilkat.HttpResponse
Dim success As Boolean = http.HttpSReq(domain,port,tls,req,responseOut)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If
