Demonstrates how to send a JSON POST using the application/json content-type.

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

Chilkat.HttpRequest req = new Chilkat.HttpRequest();
Chilkat.Http http = new Chilkat.Http();

// If any custom headers need to be included with the POST, add them
// by calling SetRequestHeader

// Note: An application should never explicitly set the Content-Length header.
// The Content-Length is automatically computed and added by Chilkat.

// Here are some examples of custom headers.  

// Perhaps your particular app needs some sort of custom-computed Authorization header...
http.SetRequestHeader("Authorization","my-custom-computed-auth-value");

// Another custom header for some hypothetical app:
http.SetRequestHeader("X-Pass-Timestamp","my-custom-computed-timestamp-value");

// We don't need to set the Content-Type header, becaue it is automatically set by Chilkat
// in the PostJson2 call below.

// The following "Accept" header may be set, but it really isn't necessary:
http.SetRequestHeader("Accept","application/json");

string jsonText = "{ some JSON text ... }";

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

Chilkat.HttpResponse resp = null;
resp = http.PostJson2("http://www.someserver.com/someJsonEndpoint","application/json",jsonText);
if (http.LastMethodSuccess != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText);
}
else {
    // Display the JSON response.
    Debug.WriteLine(resp.BodyStr);
