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

loHttp = createobject("CkHttp")

// The XML sent in the body of the request is application
// specified -- it should contain whatever the server-side
// application is expecting..
lcXmlStr = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><appXml><something>123</something></appXml>'

// The PostXml method may be called to send the XMLHttpRequest
// using the "POST" HTTP method (also known as "verb").
lcUrlEndpoint = "http://www.chilkatsoft.com/xmlEcho.asp"
lcXmlCharset = "utf-8"

loResp = loHttp.PostXml(lcUrlEndpoint,lcXmlStr,lcXmlCharset)
if (loHttp.LastMethodSuccess <> .T.) then
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    release loHttp
    return
endif

// The raw HTTP request sent by the above call is:

// POST /xmlEcho.asp HTTP/1.1
// Content-Type: text/xml
// Host: www.chilkatsoft.com
// Accept: */*
// Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*; q=0.7
// Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5
// Accept-Encoding: gzip
// Content-Length: 81
// 
// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><appXml><something>123</something></appXml>

// Examine the Body of the HTTP response
// This would be the XML response sent by the server.
