Content-Type: application/zip
Content-Length: 123456

VB.NET

Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim localFilePath As String = "C:/example/zips/data.zip"
Dim bd As New Chilkat.BinData
success = bd.LoadFile(localFilePath)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(bd.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


Dim url As String = "https://example.com/api/v1/sites/123/deploys"

' Send a POST with the contents of the BinData in the binary HTTP request body.
Dim resp As New Chilkat.HttpResponse
Dim http As New Chilkat.Http
success = http.HttpBd("POST",url,bd,"application/zip",resp)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


Debug.WriteLine("Response Status Code: " & resp.StatusCode)
Debug.WriteLine("Response body:")
Debug.WriteLine(resp.BodyStr)
