Demonstrates how to send a JSON PUT and get the JSON response body. Visual FoxPro

LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL loReq
LOCAL loHttp

lnSuccess = 0

* 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.
