Chilkat2 Python Downloads install with pip pip3 install chilkat2 or download... Python Module for Windows, Linux, Alpine Linux, MacOS, Solaris

import chilkat2

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

req = chilkat2.HttpRequest()
http = chilkat2.Http()

# The PUT request to be sent will look like this:

# PUT /request HTTP/1.1
# Content-Type: application/jsonrequest
# Cookie: JSESSIONID=1234
# Content-Encoding: identity
# Host: json.penzance.org
# Accept: application/jsonrequest
# Accept-Encoding:
# Content-Length: 72
# 
# {"user":"doctoravatar@penzance.com","forecast":7,"t":"vlIj","zip":94089}

# First, remove default header fields that would be automatically
# sent.  (These headers are harmless, and shouldn't need to 
# be suppressed, but just in case...)
http.AcceptCharset = ""
http.UserAgent = ""
http.AcceptLanguage = ""

# Suppress the Accept-Encoding header by disallowing 
# a gzip response:
http.AllowGzip = False

# If a Cookie needs to be added...
http.SetRequestHeader("Cookie","JSESSIONID=1234")

# Add the Content-Encoding: identity header.
http.SetRequestHeader("Content-Encoding","identity")

# Modify the default "Accept" header:
http.Accept = "application/jsonrequest"

jsonText = "{\"user\":\"doctoravatar@penzance.com\",\"forecast\":7,\"t\":\"vlIj\",\"zip\":94089}"

# To use SSL/TLS, simply use "https://" in the URL.

# IMPORTANT: Make sure to change the URL, JSON text,
# and other data items to your own values.  The URL used
# in this example will not actually work.

responseBody = http.PutText("http://json.penzance.org/request",jsonText,"utf-8","application/jsonrequest",False,False)
if (http.LastMethodSuccess != True):
    print(http.LastErrorText)
else:
    # Display the JSON response.
    print(responseBody)
