# Note: The WaTrend online documentation indicate a POST should be used.
# However, it seems you might actually need to send a GET request.
# It is unclear.  
# If a GET is neeed, you would just send to the URL w/ query params like this:
sbUrl = chilkat2.StringBuilder()
sbUrl.Append("https://app.watrend.com/api/send.php?")
sbUrl.Append(req.GetUrlEncodedParams())
responseBodyStr = http.QuickGetStr(sbUrl.GetAsString())
# The responseBodyStr contains the JSON response from the server..

# If a POST is needed, then it is sent like this:
# resp is a CkHttpResponse
resp = http.PostUrlEncoded("https://app.watrend.com/api/send.php",req)
if (http.LastMethodSuccess == False):
    print(http.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

sbResponseBody = chilkat2.StringBuilder()
resp.GetBodySb(sbResponseBody)

respStatusCode = resp.StatusCode
print("Response Status Code = " + str(respStatusCode))
if (respStatusCode >= 400):
    print("Response Header:")
    print(resp.Header)
    print("Failed.")

    sys.exit()

print(resp.BodyStr)

# Both success and failed responses use 200 status code.

# A success response contains this JSON in the response body:
# {"status":"success", ... }

# A failed response will contain something like this:
# {"status":"error","message":"License Invalidated"}
