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

Dim rest As New Chilkat.Rest

Dim success As Boolean = Await rest.ConnectAsync("example.com",443,True,bAutoReconnect)
If (success = False) Then

    Exit Sub
End If


' Create some sample JSON to be sent in the body of the request.

sbJson.Append("{""create"": [{""name"": ""Woo Single #1"",""type"": ""simple"",""regular_price"": ""21.99""}]}")

' Add the Content-Type HTTP request header.
rest.AddHeader("Content-Type","application/json")

' Just send the request.  Don't read the response.
' The request is sent to https://example.com/something?arg1=xyz&arg2=abc

End If


' OK, the request was sent.
' Close the connection.

Await rest.DisconnectAsync(maxWaitMs)

Debug.WriteLine("JSON POST Sent.")
