#  Choose a content-type.  Typical content types for XML POSTs are "application/xml" or "text/xml".
http.SetRequestHeader("Content-Type","text/xml")

#  Maybe you need other headers?
http.SetRequestHeader("Accept","text/xml")

# resp is a CkHttpResponse
resp = http.PostXml("https://www.somewebsite.com/",strXml,"utf-8")
if (http.get_LastMethodSuccess() != True):
    print(http.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

#  Examine the response status code:
print("response status code = " + str(resp.get_StatusCode()))

#  Examine the response body:
print("response body: " + resp.bodyStr())
