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

loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')

*  Use your WordPress login, such as "admin", not the application name.
loHttp.Login = "wp_username"
*  Use the application password, such as "Nths RwVH eDJ4 weNZ orMN jabq"
*  See WordPress Application Passwords Plugin
loHttp.Password = "app_password"
loHttp.BasicAuth = 1

*  Note: For this to work, you'll likely need to update your .htaccess file on your WordPress server.
*  Otherwise you'll get this error:
*  
*  401 : Sorry, you are not allowed to create posts as this user
*  
*  Your default .htaccess file probably looks like this:
*  
*  <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
*  RewriteEngine On
*  RewriteBase /
*  RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
*  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
*  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
*  RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
*  </IfModule>
*  # END WordPress
*  
*  Add the following line immediately after the "RewriteEngine On" line:    RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
*  Your .htaccess file should look like this after the edit:
*  
*  <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
*  RewriteEngine On
*  RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
*  RewriteBase /
*  RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
*  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
*  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
*  RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
*  </IfModule>
*  # END WordPress

loJson = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loJson.UpdateString("title","This is a test post")
loJson.UpdateString("content","<p>This is the HTML body of my post</p>")
*  The status can be "draft" or "publish"
loJson.UpdateString("status","draft")

*  Add tags -- but you need to know the ID of an existing tag.
*  See Chilkat's other WordPress example for creating a tag, or getting the ID of an existing tag.
lnTagIdx = 0
loJson.I = lnTagIdx
*  When Chilkat sees the literal string "[i]" in the JSON path, it replaces the "i" with the value of the "I" property.
loJson.UpdateInt("tags[i]",56)
lnTagIdx = lnTagIdx + 1
loJson.I = lnTagIdx
loJson.UpdateInt("tags[i]",75)
