  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  const http = new Http();

  // The XML sent in the body of the request is application
  // specified -- it should contain whatever the server-side
  // application is expecting..
  const xmlStr = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><appXml><something>123</something></appXml>';

  const urlEndpoint = 'http://www.chilkatsoft.com/xmlEcho.asp';
  const xmlCharset = 'utf-8';

  const resp = new HttpResponse();
  try {
    await http.httpStrAsync('POST', urlEndpoint, xmlStr, xmlCharset, 'application/xml', resp);
  } catch {
    console.log(http.lastErrorText);
