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

; This example demonstrates how to send a multipart/form-data POST that
; looks like this:

; 	POST /cgi/XXX.pl HTTP/1.0
; 	Accept: text/html
; 	Connection: Keep-Alive
; 	User-Agent: XXX/8.0.15
; 	Content-type: multipart/form-data, boundary=XXXxyxy
; 	Content-Length: 682
; 
; 	--XXXxyxy
; 	content-disposition: form-data; name="UploadAgent"
; 
; 	InterfaceVersion1.5
; 	--XXXxyxy
; 	content-disposition: form-data; name="user"
; 
; 	userValue
; 	--XXXxyxy
; 	content-disposition: form-data; name="password"
; 
; 	passwordValue
; 	--XXXxyxy
; 	content-disposition: form-data; name="file"
; 
; 	fileValue
; 	--XXXxyxy
; 	content-disposition: form-data; name="data_version"
; 
; 	dataVersion
; 	--XXXxyxy
; 	content-disposition: form-data; name="content2"; filename="XXX"
; 
; 	THE FILE CONTENT GOES HERE...
; 	--XXXxyxy--
; 

; First, let's build the HTTP request object
$oReq = ObjCreate("Chilkat.HttpRequest")

$oReq.HttpVerb = "POST"
$oReq.Path = "/cgi/XXX.pl"

; The boundary string is automatically generated and added by Chilkat.
; The value for the boundary string doesn't matter. (As long as it's a unique string that doesn't occur elsewhere in the request.)
$oReq.ContentType = "multipart/form-data"

; Adding the Connection: Keep-Alive is optional.  It only makes sense if the intent is to send
; additional requests to the same domain (your-namespace-sb.accesscontrol.windows.net) within a reasonable time period.
$oReq.AddHeader "Connection","Keep-Alive"

; --------------------------------------------------
; IMPORTANT: Never set the Content-Length header.  
; Chilkat will automatically compute the correct Content-Length and will add it.
; --------------------------------------------------

; If a specific User-Agent header field is needed, it can be added by calling AddHeader.
$oReq.AddHeader "User-Agent","XXX/8.0.15"

; The "Accept" header, if present, tells the server what Content-Type responses will be accepted.
; In this case, we're telling the server that we'll only accept "text/html" responses, and therefore
; the server SHOULD only send a text/html response.  Technically, the Accept header is not required.
$oReq.AddHeader "Accept","text/html"

; Add the params to the request.  Given that the Content-Type is set to "multipart/form-data", when
; Chilkat composes the request, it will put each param in it's own MIME sub-part (i.e. in it's own
; part delimited by the boundary string).
$oReq.AddParam "UploadAgent","InterfaceVersion1.5"
$oReq.AddParam "user","userValue"
$oReq.AddParam "password","passwordValue"
$oReq.AddParam "file","fileValue"
$oReq.AddParam "data_version","dataVersion"

; The last param is the contents of a file.
; If it's a file on disk, we can add it like this:
Local $sPathToFileOnDisk = "c:/someDir/someFile.dat"
$bSuccess = $oReq.AddFileForUpload("content2",$sPathToFileOnDisk)
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oReq.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; Alternatively, if the contents of the file are in memory, perhaps in a string
; variable, the file can be added like this instead.
Local $sFileContents = "This is the content of the file being uploaded."
$bSuccess = $oReq.AddStringForUpload("content2","XXX",$sFileContents,"utf-8")

; -----------------------------------------------------------
; IMPORTANT: To duplicate the HTTP request shown above, you'll want to choose 
; either AddStringForUpload or AddFileForUpload, but not both.  It's possible to upload
; any number of files by calling AddStringForUpload and/or AddFileForUpload any number
; of times, once per file to be uploaded.  This of course assumes that the receiving
; end is programmed to receive multiple files..
; ------------------------------------------------------------

$oHttp = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Http")

; The request is ready... now send it using HTTPS (which is port 443 by default).

$oResp = ObjCreate("Chilkat.HttpResponse")
$bSuccess = $oHttp.HttpSReq("www.myserver.com",443,True,$oReq,$oResp)
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oHttp.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

ConsoleWrite("HTTP response status: " & $oResp.StatusCode & @CRLF)

; In this case, the response would be HTML because our Accept header
; told the server to only return HTML.  The HTML is available on the BodyStr
; property of the response object:
Local $sHtmlStr = $oResp.BodyStr
ConsoleWrite("Received:" & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite($sHtmlStr & @CRLF)
