Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 50

company=example&ip=111.111.111.111&url=example.com

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

// Your application creates a new, empty HttpResponse object which is passed 
// in the last argument and filled upon success.
