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

loReq = createobject("CkHttpRequest")
loHttp = createobject("CkHttp")

//  This example simulates this FORM:
//  <form action="echoPost.asp" method="post">
//  First name: <input type="text" name="firstName"><br />
//  Last name: <input type="text" name="lastName"><br />
//  <input type="submit" value="Submit">
//  </form>
//  The online FORM is found at this URL:
//  https://www.chilkatsoft.com/simpleForm.html

//  Build an HTTP POST Request:
loReq.HttpVerb = "POST"

//  The FORM target is http://www.chilkatsoft.com/processPost.asp
//  An easy way of filling out most of the HTTP request object
//  is to call SetFromUrl:
loReq.SetFromUrl("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/echoPost.asp")

//  Send form params using application/x-www-form-urlencoded
loReq.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

//  The only remaining task is to add the params to the
//  HTTP request object:
loReq.AddParam("firstName","Matt")
loReq.AddParam("lastName","Jones")

//  Send the HTTP POST and get the response.
//  The POST is being sent to chilkatsoft.com, on port 443 (using TLS)
lcDomain = "chilkatsoft.com"
lnPort = 443
llTls = .T.

//  The HTTP POST is sent here:
loResp = loHttp.SynchronousRequest(lcDomain,lnPort,llTls,loReq)
if (loHttp.LastMethodSuccess = .F.) then
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    release loReq
    release loHttp
    return
endif

//  Display the HTML source of the page returned.
? loResp.BodyStr


release loReq
release loHttp
