Dim req As New ChilkatHttpRequest
Dim http As New ChilkatHttp

'  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: application/jsonrequest
'  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.AcceptCharset = ""
http.UserAgent = ""
http.AcceptLanguage = ""

'  Suppress the Accept-Encoding header by disallowing 
'  a gzip response:
http.AllowGzip = 0

'  If a Cookie needs to be added...
http.SetRequestHeader "Cookie","JSESSIONID=1234"

'  Add the Content-Encoding: identity header.
http.SetRequestHeader "Content-Encoding","identity"

'  Modify the default "Accept" header:
http.Accept = "application/jsonrequest"

Dim jsonText As String
jsonText = "{""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.
