// 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...)

// Suppress the Accept-Encoding header by disallowing 
// a gzip response:

// 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->Accept = 'application/jsonrequest';

// and other data items to your own values.  The URL used
// in this example will not actually work.
