func chilkatTest() {
    // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    let http = CkoHttp()

    // The Cookie header field has this format:
    // Cookie: name1=value1 [; name2=value2] ...

    // Build an HTTP POST request:
    let req = CkoHttpRequest()
    req.SetFromUrl("http://www.chilkatsoft.com/echoPost.asp")
    req.HttpVerb = "POST"

    req.AddParam("param1", value: "value1")
    req.AddParam("param2", value: "value2")

    // To add cookies to any HTTP request sent by a Chilkat HTTP method
    // that uses an HTTP request object, add the cookies to the
    // request object by calling AddHeader.  

    // Add two cookies:
    req.AddHeader("Cookie", value: "user=\"mary\"; city=\"Chicago\"")

    // Send the HTTP POST.  
    // (The cookies are sent as part of the HTTP header.)

    var resp: CkoHttpResponse?
    var domain: String? = "www.chilkatsoft.com"
    var port: Int = 80
    var ssl: Bool = false
    resp = http.SynchronousRequest(domain, port: port, ssl: ssl, req: req)
    if http.LastMethodSuccess != true {
        print("\(http.LastErrorText)")
        return
    }

    // Display the HTML body of the response.
    if resp!.StatusCode.intValue == 200 {
        // Show the last HTTP request header sent, which should include
        // our cookies...
        print("\(http.LastHeader)")
    }
    else {
        print("HTTP Response Status = \(resp!.StatusCode.intValue)")
    }

    resp = nil

    print("---------------------")

    // Some Chilkat HTTP methods do not use an HTTP request object. 
    // For these methods, such as for QuickGetStr, cookies (or any HTTP request header) 
    // are added by calling SetRequestHeader.  
    http.SetRequestHeader("Cookie", value: "user=\"mary\"; city=\"Chicago\"")

    var html: String? = http.QuickGetStr("http://www.w3.org/")
    if http.LastMethodSuccess != true {
        print("\(http.LastErrorText)")
    }
    else {
        // Show the last HTTP request header sent, which should include
        // our cookies...
        print("\(http.LastHeader)")
    }
