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

req = chilkat.CkHttpRequest()
http = chilkat.CkHttp()

#  This example simulates this FORM:
#  <form action="echoPost.asp" method="post">
#  First name: <input type="text" name="firstName"><br />
#  Last name: <input type="text" name="lastName"><br />
#  <input type="submit" value="Submit">
#  </form>
#  The online FORM is found at this URL:
#  https://www.chilkatsoft.com/simpleForm.html

#  Build an HTTP POST Request:
req.put_HttpVerb("POST")

#  The FORM target is http://www.chilkatsoft.com/processPost.asp
#  An easy way of filling out most of the HTTP request object
#  is to call SetFromUrl:
req.SetFromUrl("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/echoPost.asp")

#  Send form params using application/x-www-form-urlencoded
req.put_ContentType("application/x-www-form-urlencoded")

#  The only remaining task is to add the params to the
#  HTTP request object:
req.AddParam("firstName","Matt")
req.AddParam("lastName","Jones")

#  Send the HTTP POST and get the response.
#  The POST is being sent to chilkatsoft.com, on port 443 (using TLS)
domain = "chilkatsoft.com"
port = 443
tls = True

#  The HTTP POST is sent here:
# resp is a CkHttpResponse
resp = http.SynchronousRequest(domain,port,tls,req)
if (http.get_LastMethodSuccess() == False):
    print(http.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

#  Display the HTML source of the page returned.
print(resp.bodyStr())
