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

CkoHttp *http = [[CkoHttp alloc] init];

// Implements the following CURL command:

// curl -X POST https://example.com/StockQuote \
//   -H "Host: www.example.org" \
//   -H "Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8" \
//   -H "SOAPAction: http://www.example.org/StockPrice" \
//   -d '<?xml version="1.0"?>
// 
// <soap:Envelope
// xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope/"
// soap:encodingStyle="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-encoding">
// 
// <soap:Body xmlns:m="http://www.example.org/stock">
//   <m:GetStockPrice>
//     <m:StockName>IBM</m:StockName>
//   </m:GetStockPrice>
