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

Chilkat.Rest rest = new Chilkat.Rest();

// This example will send to https://www.chilkatsoft.com/echoPost.asp

// Make the initial connection (without sending a request yet).
bool bTls = true;
int port = 443;
bool bAutoReconnect = true;
bool success = rest.Connect("www.chilkatsoft.com",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect);
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Provide query params.
rest.AddQueryParam("firstName","John");
rest.AddQueryParam("lastName","Doe");
rest.AddQueryParam("company","Bisco Bits Ltd.");

string responseStr = rest.FullRequestFormUrlEncoded("POST","/echoPost.asp");
if (rest.LastMethodSuccess != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// When successful, the response status code will equal 200.
if (rest.ResponseStatusCode != 200) {
    // Examine the request/response to see what happened.
    Debug.WriteLine("response status code = " + Convert.ToString(rest.ResponseStatusCode));
    Debug.WriteLine("response status text = " + rest.ResponseStatusText);
