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

* This example will send a POST with HTTP Basic Authentication to 
* https://gw-fatoora.zatca.sa/e-invoicing/simulation/invoices/clearance/single

* NOTE: At the time of this writing, I don't know for sure if the above URL is correct.
* 
* The body of the POST will contain JSON formatted as such:

* {
*   "summary": "Standard Invoice",
*   "value": {
*     "invoiceHash": "PEx8bNFcEMEpHzUVvQntQI6ot8eFqTT/l59b+H1HqX4=",
*     "uuid": "16e78469-64af-406d-9cfd-895e724198f0",
*     "invoice": "PD94bWwgdmVyc2lvbj0iMS4wIiBlbmNvZGluZz0iVVRGLTgiPz4KPEl....."
*   }
* }

* The above JSON is created from the signed XML invoice, such as the following:

* *** Look at the above base64 data for the invoiceHash and uuid.  These values are found in the invoice as shown below.
* *** We'll write code to load the signed invoice into a Chilkat XML object, grab the invoice hash and the uuid,
* *** and then construct the above JSON, which will then be sent in a POST.  (See below...)

* -------------------------------------------------------------------
* First, let's load our signed XML into a Chilkat XML object so we can get the uuid and invoice hash.
lcSignedXmlFilePath = "qa_data/zatca/http_post_clearance/sample_signed_invoice.xml"

loSignedXml = CreateObject('Chilkat.Xml')
lnSuccess = loSignedXml.LoadXmlFile(lcSignedXmlFilePath)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loSignedXml.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loSignedXml
    CANCEL
ENDIF

lcInvoiceHash = loSignedXml.GetChildContent("ext:UBLExtensions|ext:UBLExtension|ext:ExtensionContent|sig:UBLDocumentSignatures|sac:SignatureInformation|ds:Signature|ds:SignedInfo|ds:Reference[0]|ds:DigestValue")
? "invoiceHash: " + lcInvoiceHash

lcCbc_UUID = loSignedXml.GetChildContent("cbc:UUID")
? "UUID: " + lcCbc_UUID

* The Chilkat XML object was used purely for getting the above 2 values.
* We must send the EXACT signed XML in base64 format.  Therefore, we should load the signed XML into a Chilkat BinData and get it in base64 single-line format.

loBd = CreateObject('Chilkat.BinData')
lnSuccess = loBd.LoadFile(lcSignedXmlFilePath)
lcBase64Invoice = loBd.GetEncoded("base64")

* OK, let's build the JSON that will be in the HTTP POST body.
loJson = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loJson.UpdateString("summary","Standard Invoice")
loJson.UpdateString("value.invoiceHash",lcInvoiceHash)
loJson.UpdateString("value.uuid",lcCbc_UUID)
loJson.UpdateString("value.invoice",lcBase64Invoice)

* Now create the HTTP object and send the POST.
loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')

* We'll want HTTP basic authentication.
loHttp.BasicAuth = 1
loHttp.Login = "your login"
loHttp.Password = "your password"

loResp = CreateObject('Chilkat.HttpResponse')
lnSuccess = loHttp.HttpJson("POST","https://gw-fatoora.zatca.sa/e-invoicing/simulation/invoices/clearance/single",loJson,"application/json",loResp)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loSignedXml
    RELEASE loBd
    RELEASE loJson
    RELEASE loHttp
    RELEASE loResp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Check the response status code.  A 200 or 202 indicates success..
lnStatusCode = loResp.StatusCode
? "Response status code = " + STR(lnStatusCode)

* Examine the response, which is JSON.
loJsonResp = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loResp.GetBodyJson(loJsonResp)
loJsonResp.EmitCompact = 0
? "JSON Response:"
? loJsonResp.Emit()
