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

loReq = CreateObject('Chilkat.HttpRequest')
loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.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...)
loHttp.AcceptCharset = ""
loHttp.UserAgent = ""
loHttp.AcceptLanguage = ""

*  Suppress the Accept-Encoding header by disallowing 
*  a gzip response:
loHttp.AllowGzip = 0

*  If a Cookie needs to be added...
loHttp.SetRequestHeader("Cookie","JSESSIONID=1234")

*  Add the Content-Encoding: identity header.
loHttp.SetRequestHeader("Content-Encoding","identity")

*  Modify the default "Accept" header:
loHttp.Accept = "application/jsonrequest"

lcJsonText = '{"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.
