# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$req = chilkat::CkHttpRequest->new();
$http = chilkat::CkHttp->new();

# 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...)
$http->put_AcceptCharset("");
$http->put_UserAgent("");
$http->put_AcceptLanguage("");

# Suppress the Accept-Encoding header by disallowing 
# a gzip response:
$http->put_AllowGzip(0);

# If a Cookie needs to be added...
$http->SetRequestHeader("Cookie","JSESSIONID=1234");

# Add the Content-Encoding: identity header.
$http->SetRequestHeader("Content-Encoding","identity");

# Modify the default "Accept" header:
$http->put_Accept("application/jsonrequest");

$jsonText = '{\'user\':\'doctoravatar@penzance.com\',\'forecast\':7,\'t\':\'vlIj\',\'zip\':94089}';

# To use SSL/TLS, simply use "https://" in the URL.

# 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.

$responseBody = $http->putText("http://json.penzance.org/request",$jsonText,"utf-8","application/jsonrequest",0,0);
if ($http->get_LastMethodSuccess() != 1) {
    print $http->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
}
else {
    # Display the JSON response.
    print $responseBody . "\r\n";
