$oHttp = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Http")

$oReq = ObjCreate("Chilkat.HttpRequest")
$oReq.HttpVerb = "POST"
$oReq.ContentType = "multipart/form-data"
$oReq.Path = "/v2.7/me/photos"

;  Use the previously obtained access token.
;  Note: The publish_actions scope is required to upload a photo.
$oReq.AddHeader "Authorization","Bearer FACEBOOK-ACCESS-TOKEN"

;  Send an "Expect: 100-continue" header in the request.
;  This causes the HTTP server to end a 100-continue response
;  immediately after receiving the HTTP header.  The client
;  (Chilkat) will receive this intermediate response, and if
;  it's not an error response, it knows that the HTTP server will
;  accept the data that is forthcoming.
;  The alternative is to get an error response after trying to upload
;  the entire contents of the files.
$oReq.AddHeader "Expect","100-continue"

;  Set a photo caption.
$oReq.AddParam "caption","Here are some penguins!"

;  Additional parameters can be added to the request by 
;  calling AddParam once per parameter.  
;  See https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/user/photos
;  for more information about other optional parameters.

;  Indicate the local file to be uploaded.
