Demonstrates how to duplicate a simple HTML form POST. 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

// This example simulates this FORM:
// <form action="echoPost.asp" method="post">
// First name: <input type="text" name="firstName"><br />
// Last name: <input type="text" name="lastName"><br />
// <input type="submit" value="Submit">
// </form>
// The online FORM is found at this URL:
// https://www.chilkatsoft.com/simpleForm.html

// Build an HTTP POST Request:
req.HttpVerb = "POST"

// The FORM target is http://www.chilkatsoft.com/processPost.asp
// An easy way of filling out most of the HTTP request object
// is to call SetFromUrl:
req.SetFromUrl "https://www.chilkatsoft.com/echoPost.asp"

// Send form params using application/x-www-form-urlencoded
req.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

// The only remaining task is to add the params to the 
// HTTP request object:
req.AddParam "firstName","Matt"
req.AddParam "lastName","Jones"

// Send the HTTP POST and get the response.
// The POST is being sent to chilkatsoft.com, on port 443 (using TLS)
Dim domain As String
domain = "chilkatsoft.com"
Dim port As Int32
port = 443
Dim tls As Boolean
tls = True

// The HTTP POST is sent here:
Dim resp As New Chilkat.HttpResponse
success = http.HttpSReq(domain,port,tls,req,resp)
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(http.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Display the HTML source of the page returned.
System.DebugLog(resp.BodyStr)
