    let http = CkoHttp()!

    var strXml: String? = "<TransactionSetup xmlns=\"https://xyz.com\"><Credentials><AccountID>XXX</AccountID></Credentials></TransactionSetup>"

    // Maybe you need other headers?
    http.setRequestHeader(name: "Accept", value: "application/xml")

    let resp = CkoHttpResponse()!
    success = http.httpStr(verb: "POST", url: "https://www.somewebsite.com/", bodyStr: strXml, charset: "utf-8", contentType: "application/xml", response: resp)
    if success == false {
        print("\(http.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Examine the response status code:
    print("response status code = \(resp.statusCode.intValue)")

    // Examine the response body:
    print("response body: \(resp.bodyStr!)")
