Dim success As Boolean
success = False

Dim http As New Chilkat.Http
success = False

// This example will send an HTTP POST with the body of the HTTP request containing JSON.

// Create the following JSON: { "name": "Harry", "state": "FL" }

Dim json As New Chilkat.JsonObject
success = json.UpdateString("name","Harry")
success = json.UpdateString("state","FL")

// Specify the details of the request
Dim req As New Chilkat.HttpRequest

req.HttpVerb = "POST"
req.ContentType = "application/json"
success = req.LoadBodyFromString(json.Emit(),"utf-8")

// Send the charset attribute in the HTTP request header.
req.SendCharset = True
req.Charset = "utf-8"

// Send the POST
// You can send the POST to the URL below.  
// The response will contain the raw body of the request that was sent.
// (i.e. everything except the HTTP request header).

Dim resp As New Chilkat.HttpResponse
success = http.HttpReq("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/echo_request_body.asp",req,resp)
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(http.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Examine the HTTP request header we sent:
System.DebugLog(http.LastHeader)

// The response body contains the raw content of the HTTP request body we sent.
System.DebugLog(resp.BodyStr)

// Sample output:

// POST /echo_request_body.asp HTTP/1.1
// Host: www.chilkatsoft.com
// Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
// Content-Length: 29
// 
// 
// {"name":"Harry","state":"FL"}
