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

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

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

// 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 = .F.

// 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.
