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

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.HttpRequest')
loReq = CreateObject('Chilkat.HttpRequest')
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Http')
loHttp = CreateObject('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...
loHttp.SetRequestHeader("Authorization","my-custom-computed-auth-value")

* Another custom header for some hypothetical app:
loHttp.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:
loHttp.SetRequestHeader("Accept","application/json")

lcJsonText = "{ some JSON text ... }"

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

loResp = loHttp.PostJson2("http://www.someserver.com/someJsonEndpoint","application/json",lcJsonText)
IF (loHttp.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
ELSE
    * Display the JSON response.
    ? loResp.BodyStr
