//  PUT /request HTTP/1.1
//  Content-Type: application/jsonrequest
//  Cookie: JSESSIONID=1234
//  Content-Encoding: identity
//  Host: json.penzance.org
//  Accept: application/jsonrequest
//  Accept-Encoding:
//  Content-Length: 72
//  
//  {"user":"doctoravatar@penzance.com","forecast":7,"t":"vlIj","zip":94089}

//  First, remove default header fields that would be automatically
//  sent.  (These headers are harmless, and shouldn't need to 
//  be suppressed, but just in case...)

//  Suppress the Accept-Encoding header by disallowing 
//  a gzip response:

//  If a Cookie needs to be added...
oHttp:SetRequestHeader("Cookie", "JSESSIONID=1234")

//  Add the Content-Encoding: identity header.
oHttp:SetRequestHeader("Content-Encoding", "identity")

//  Modify the default "Accept" header:
oHttp:Accept := "application/jsonrequest"

//  IMPORTANT: Make sure to change the URL, JSON text,
//  and other data items to your own values.  The URL used
//  in this example will not actually work.
