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

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