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

*  This example constructs and sends the following HTTP request.
*  (The boundary strings will be different and auto-generated by Chilkat)

*  Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
*  SOAPAction: invio
*  Content-Type: Multipart/Related; boundary="MIME_boundary"; type="text/xml"; start="mailto:rootpart@soapui.org"
*  MIME-Version: 1.0
*  
*  --MIME_boundary
*  Content-Type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8
*  Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
*  Content-ID: <rootpart@soapui.org>
*   
*  <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:urn="urn:attachment.ws.it">
*  <soapenv:Header/>
*  <soapenv:Body>
*    <urn:inputBean>
*     <nomeFileAllegato>myfile.zip</nomeFileAllegato>
*    </urn:inputBean>
*  </soapenv:Body>
*  </soapenv:Envelope>
*   
*  --MIME_boundary
*  Content-Type: application/zip
*  Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary
*  Content-ID: <myfile.zip>
*  Content-Disposition: attachment; name="myfile.zip"; filename="myfile.zip"
*  
*  ... binary zip data goes here ...
*  --MIME_boundary--

loRest = CreateObject('Chilkat.Rest')

loRest.AddHeader("SOAPAction","invio")
loRest.AddHeader("Content-Type",'Multipart/Related; boundary="MIME_boundary"; type="text/xml"; start="mailto:rootpart@soapui.org"')
loRest.AddHeader("MIME-Version","1.0")

*  Build the SOAP XML:
*  Use this online tool to generate the code from sample XML: 
*  Generate Code to Create XML

loXml = CreateObject('Chilkat.Xml')
loXml.Tag = "soapenv:Envelope"
loXml.AddAttribute("xmlns:soapenv","http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/")
loXml.AddAttribute("xmlns:urn","urn:attachment.ws.it")
loXml.UpdateChildContent("soapenv:Header","")
loXml.UpdateChildContent("soapenv:Body|urn:inputBean|nomeFileAllegato","myfile.zip")

*  Build the SOAP XML sub-part
loRest.PartSelector = "1"
loRest.AddHeader("Content-Type","text/xml; charset=UTF-8")
loRest.AddHeader("Content-Transfer-Encoding","8bit")
loRest.AddHeader("Content-ID","<rootpart@soapui.org>")
lnSuccess = loRest.SetMultipartBodyString(loXml.GetXml())

*  Build the sub-part containing the .zip
loRest.PartSelector = "2"
loRest.AddHeader("Content-Type","application/zip")
loRest.AddHeader("Content-Transfer-Encoding","binary")
loRest.AddHeader("Content-ID","<myfile.zip>")
loRest.AddHeader("Content-Disposition",'attachment; name="myfile.zip"; filename="myfile.zip"')

*  Add a zip file to the 2nd sub-part body.
*  This example will load the .zip file into memory, but it is also possible to stream directly from the file as the request is sent
*  by calling SetMultipartBodyStream.
loBd = CreateObject('Chilkat.BinData')
lnSuccess = loBd.LoadFile("qa_data/zips/helloWorld.zip")
lnSuccess = loRest.SetMultipartBodyBd(loBd)

*  To be safe, always revert the PartSelector back to 0..
loRest.PartSelector = "0"

*  Send the request by connecting to the web server and then sending..
*  Connect using TLS.

IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loRest.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loRest
    RELEASE loXml
    RELEASE loBd
    CANCEL
ENDIF

*  In this example, we're setting DebugMode.
*  When debug mode is turned on, no request is actually sent.
*  Instead, the request that would be sent is recorded to memory
*  and we can retrieve it afterwards..

    RELEASE loRest
    RELEASE loXml
    RELEASE loBd
    CANCEL
ENDIF

*  Retrieve the request that would've been sent and save it to a file.
*  We can then examine the file to see if the request was structured as we desired.
*  (Note: The zip bytes will be binary data and will appear as garbled garbage in a text editor..)
