    // Imagine a URL that contains two params: one named "xyz" and one named "name".
    // We want to send a POST to it, but with 2 additional params in the body of the request.
    // The PostUrlEncoded method cannot be used because it parses the URL and puts all the params
    // in the HTTP body.  The SynchronousRequest method should instead be used so
    // that the req.Path can be explicitly specified.
    const char *url = "http://www.chilkatsoft.com/echoPost.asp?xyz=123&name=matt";

    CkHttp http;

    // Provide a session log path so we can visually verify the exact request sent.
    // (This is only for debugging purposes.)
    http.put_SessionLogFilename("c:/aaworkarea/httpLog.txt");

    // Create an HTTP request that has two additional params
    CkHttpRequest req;

    req.put_HttpVerb("POST");
    req.put_Path("/echoPost.asp?xyz=123&name=matt");
    req.AddParam("sport","tennis");
    req.AddParam("tournament","French Open");

    // Send the HTTP POST and get the response.
