#  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.AcceptCharset = ""
$http.UserAgent = ""
$http.AcceptLanguage = ""

#  Suppress the Accept-Encoding header by disallowing
#  a gzip response:
$http.AllowGzip = $false

#  If a Cookie needs to be added, it may be added by calling
#  AddQuickHeader:
$success = $http.AddQuickHeader("Cookie","JSESSIONID=1234")

#  Add the Content-Encoding: identity header.
$success = $http.AddQuickHeader("Content-Encoding","identity")

#  Modify the default "Accept" header:
$http.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.
