Demonstrates how to send a JSON POST using the application/json content-type. Xojo Plugin

Dim success As Boolean
success = False

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Dim req As New Chilkat.HttpRequest
Dim http As New Chilkat.Http

// If any custom headers need to be included with the POST, add them
// by calling SetRequestHeader

// Note: An application should never explicitly set the Content-Length header.
// The Content-Length is automatically computed and added by Chilkat.

// Here are some examples of custom headers.  

// Perhaps your particular app needs some sort of custom-computed Authorization header...
http.SetRequestHeader "Authorization","my-custom-computed-auth-value"

// Another custom header for some hypothetical app:
http.SetRequestHeader "X-Pass-Timestamp","my-custom-computed-timestamp-value"

// The following "Accept" header may be set, but it really isn't necessary:
http.SetRequestHeader "Accept","application/json"

Dim jsonText As String
jsonText = "{ some JSON text ... }"

// To use SSL/TLS, simply use "https://" in the URL.

Dim resp As New Chilkat.HttpResponse
success = http.HttpStr("POST","http://www.someserver.com/someJsonEndpoint",jsonText,"utf-8","application/json",resp)
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(http.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Display the JSON response.
System.DebugLog(resp.BodyStr)
