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

set req = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.HttpRequest")
req.HttpVerb = "POST"
req.ContentType = "multipart/form-data"
req.Path = "/xyz/something"

req.AddParam "param1","value1"
req.AddParam "param2","value2"

'  Add some small files to the request. (Small so we can see what the full request looks like without too much data..)
set bd = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.BinData")
success = bd.LoadFile("qa_data/jpg/starfish20.jpg")
success = req.AddBdForUpload("starfish20","starfish20.jpg",bd,"image/jpeg")

success = bd.LoadFile("qa_data/pdf/helloWorld.pdf")
success = req.AddBdForUpload("helloWorld","helloWorld.pdf",bd,"application/pdf")

success = bd.LoadFile("qa_data/xml/tinyA.xml")
success = req.AddBdForUpload("tinyA","tinyA.xml",bd,"text/xml")

'  This HTTP request contains binary data, so we cannot call GenerateRequestText
'  to examine it as a string.  We can instead call GenerateRequestFile
'  to write the request to a file and then examine using a hex editor,
'  or an editor that is capable of handling null bytes and non-printable chars (perhaps by displaying "?" chars instead).
success = req.GenerateRequestFile("qa_output/multipartFormDataRequest.bin")

Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "OK.") & "</pre>"
