# Imagine a URL that contains two params: one named "xyz" and one named "name".
# We want to send a POST to it, but with 2 additional params in the body of the request.
url = "http://www.chilkatsoft.com/echoPost.asp?xyz=123&name=matt"

http = Chilkat::CkHttp.new()

# Provide a session log path so we can visually verify the exact request sent.
# (This is only for debugging purposes.)
http.put_SessionLogFilename("c:/temp/httpLog.txt")

# Create an HTTP request that has two additional params
req = Chilkat::CkHttpRequest.new()

req.put_HttpVerb("POST")
req.put_Path("/echoPost.asp?xyz=123&name=matt")
req.AddParam("sport","tennis")
req.AddParam("tournament","French Open")

# Send the HTTP POST and get the response.
