Demonstrates how to send a JSON POST using the application/json content-type. PowerBuilder

integer li_rc
integer li_Success
oleobject loo_Req
oleobject loo_Http
string ls_JsonText
oleobject loo_Resp

li_Success = 0

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

loo_Req = create oleobject
li_rc = loo_Req.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.HttpRequest")
if li_rc < 0 then
    destroy loo_Req
    MessageBox("Error","Connecting to COM object failed")
    return
end if
loo_Http = create oleobject
li_rc = loo_Http.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.Http")

// If any custom headers need to be included with the POST, add them
// by calling SetRequestHeader

// Note: An application should never explicitly set the Content-Length header.
// The Content-Length is automatically computed and added by Chilkat.

// Here are some examples of custom headers.  

// Perhaps your particular app needs some sort of custom-computed Authorization header...
loo_Http.SetRequestHeader("Authorization","my-custom-computed-auth-value")

// Another custom header for some hypothetical app:
loo_Http.SetRequestHeader("X-Pass-Timestamp","my-custom-computed-timestamp-value")

// The following "Accept" header may be set, but it really isn't necessary:
loo_Http.SetRequestHeader("Accept","application/json")

ls_JsonText = "{ some JSON text ... }"

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

loo_Resp = create oleobject
li_rc = loo_Resp.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.HttpResponse")
