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

set req [new_CkHttpRequest]

set http [new_CkHttp]

# If any custom headers need to be included with the POST, add them
# by calling SetRequestHeader

# Note: An application should never explicitly set the Content-Length header.
# The Content-Length is automatically computed and added by Chilkat.

# Here are some examples of custom headers.  

# Perhaps your particular app needs some sort of custom-computed Authorization header...
CkHttp_SetRequestHeader $http "Authorization" "my-custom-computed-auth-value"

# Another custom header for some hypothetical app:
CkHttp_SetRequestHeader $http "X-Pass-Timestamp" "my-custom-computed-timestamp-value"

# We don't need to set the Content-Type header, becaue it is automatically set by Chilkat
# in the PostJson2 call below.

# The following "Accept" header may be set, but it really isn't necessary:
CkHttp_SetRequestHeader $http "Accept" "application/json"

set jsonText "{ some JSON text ... }"

# To use SSL/TLS, simply use "https://" in the URL.

# resp is a CkHttpResponse

set resp [CkHttp_PostJson2 $http "http://www.someserver.com/someJsonEndpoint" "application/json" $jsonText]

    # Display the JSON response.
