Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create a Unicode (utf-16) output text file.
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True, True)

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Http")
set http = CreateObject("Chilkat.Http")

verb = "PUT"
url = "https://example.com/"
textData = "This is the HTTP request body"
charset = "utf-8"
contentType = "text/plain"

' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' The PText method is deprecated:

' responseObj is a Chilkat.HttpResponse
Set responseObj = http.PText(verb,url,textData,charset,contentType,0,0)
If (http.LastMethodSuccess = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
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.

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.HttpResponse")
set responseOut = CreateObject("Chilkat.HttpResponse")
success = http.HttpStr(verb,url,textData,charset,contentType,responseOut)
If (success = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If
