' Note: The WaTrend online documentation indicate a POST should be used.
' However, it seems you might actually need to send a GET request.
' It is unclear.  
' If a GET is neeed, you would just send to the URL w/ query params like this:
Dim sbUrl As New Chilkat.StringBuilder
sbUrl.Append("https://app.watrend.com/api/send.php?")
sbUrl.Append(req.GetUrlEncodedParams())
Dim responseBodyStr As String = http.QuickGetStr(sbUrl.GetAsString())
' The responseBodyStr contains the JSON response from the server..


' If a POST is needed, then it is sent like this:
Dim resp As Chilkat.HttpResponse = http.PostUrlEncoded("https://app.watrend.com/api/send.php",req)
If (http.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText)

' Both success and failed responses use 200 status code.

' A success response contains this JSON in the response body:
' {"status":"success", ... }

' A failed response will contain something like this:
