; This example assumes Chilkat HTTP to have been previously unlocked.
; See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$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.
