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

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

// The XML sent in the body of the request is application
// specified -- it should contain whatever the server-side
// application is expecting..
string xmlStr = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><appXml><something>123</something></appXml>";

// The PostXml method may be called to send the XMLHttpRequest
// using the "POST" HTTP method (also known as "verb").
string urlEndpoint = "http://www.chilkatsoft.com/xmlEcho.asp";
string xmlCharset = "utf-8";

Chilkat.HttpResponse resp = null;
resp = http.PostXml(urlEndpoint,xmlStr,xmlCharset);
if (http.LastMethodSuccess != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// The raw HTTP request sent by the above call is:

// POST /xmlEcho.asp HTTP/1.1
// Content-Type: text/xml
// Host: www.chilkatsoft.com
// Accept: */*
// Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*; q=0.7
// Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5
// Accept-Encoding: gzip
// Content-Length: 81
// 
// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><appXml><something>123</something></appXml>

// Examine the Body of the HTTP response
// This would be the XML response sent by the server.
Debug.WriteLine(resp.BodyStr);
