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

loo_Http = create oleobject
// Use "Chilkat_9_5_0.Http" for versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0
li_rc = loo_Http.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.Http")
if li_rc < 0 then
    destroy loo_Http
    MessageBox("Error","Connecting to COM object failed")
    return
end if

// The Cookie header field has this format:
// Cookie: name1=value1 [; name2=value2] ...

// Build an HTTP POST request:
loo_Req = create oleobject
// Use "Chilkat_9_5_0.HttpRequest" for versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0
li_rc = loo_Req.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.HttpRequest")

loo_Req.SetFromUrl("http://www.chilkatsoft.com/echoPost.asp")
loo_Req.HttpVerb = "POST"

loo_Req.AddParam("param1","value1")
loo_Req.AddParam("param2","value2")

// To add cookies to any HTTP request sent by a Chilkat HTTP method
// that uses an HTTP request object, add the cookies to the
// request object by calling AddHeader.  

// Add two cookies:
loo_Req.AddHeader("Cookie","user=~"mary~"; city=~"Chicago~"")

// Send the HTTP POST.  
// (The cookies are sent as part of the HTTP header.)
