    // The PUT request to be sent will look like this:

    // PUT /request HTTP/1.1
    // Content-Type: application/jsonrequest
    // Cookie: JSESSIONID=1234
    // Content-Encoding: identity
    // Host: json.penzance.org

    // Accept-Encoding:
    // Content-Length: 72
    // 
    // {"user":"doctoravatar@penzance.com","forecast":7,"t":"vlIj","zip":94089}

    // First, remove default header fields that would be automatically
    // sent.  (These headers are harmless, and shouldn't need to 
    // be suppressed, but just in case...)

    http.put_UserAgent(L"");
    http.put_AcceptLanguage(L"");

    // Suppress the Accept-Encoding header by disallowing 
    // a gzip response:
    http.put_AllowGzip(false);

    // If a Cookie needs to be added...
    http.SetRequestHeader(L"Cookie",L"JSESSIONID=1234");

    // Add the Content-Encoding: identity header.
    http.SetRequestHeader(L"Content-Encoding",L"identity");

    http.put_Accept(L"application/jsonrequest");

    const wchar_t *jsonText = L"{\"user\":\"doctoravatar@penzance.com\",\"forecast\":7,\"t\":\"vlIj\",\"zip\":94089}";

    // IMPORTANT: Make sure to change the URL, JSON text,
    // and other data items to your own values.  The URL used
    // in this example will not actually work.
