void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

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

    CkHttpRequest req;
    CkHttp 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.put_AcceptCharset("");
    http.put_UserAgent("");
    http.put_AcceptLanguage("");

    //  Suppress the Accept-Encoding header by disallowing 
    //  a gzip response:
    http.put_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.put_Accept("application/jsonrequest");

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

    //  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.

    success = http.HttpStr("PUT","http://json.penzance.org/request",jsonText,"utf-8","application/jsonrequest",resp);
    if (success == false) {
