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

rest = chilkat.CkRest()

# This example will send to https://www.chilkatsoft.com/echoPost.asp

# Make the initial connection (without sending a request yet).
bTls = True
port = 443
bAutoReconnect = True
success = rest.Connect("www.chilkatsoft.com",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
if (success != True):
    print(rest.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# Provide query params.
rest.AddQueryParam("firstName","John")
rest.AddQueryParam("lastName","Doe")

responseStr = rest.fullRequestFormUrlEncoded("POST","/echoPost.asp")
if (rest.get_LastMethodSuccess() != True):
    print(rest.lastErrorText())

# When successful, the response status code will equal 200.
