HTTP POST JSON (application/json)

See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to send a JSON POST using the application/json content-type. VBScript

Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create a Unicode (utf-16) output text file.
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True, True)

success = 0

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

set req = CreateObject("Chilkat.HttpRequest")
set http = CreateObject("Chilkat.Http")

'  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...
http.SetRequestHeader "Authorization","my-custom-computed-auth-value"

'  Another custom header for some hypothetical app:
http.SetRequestHeader "X-Pass-Timestamp","my-custom-computed-timestamp-value"

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

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

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

set resp = CreateObject("Chilkat.HttpResponse")
success = http.HttpStr("POST","http://www.someserver.com/someJsonEndpoint",jsonText,"utf-8","application/json",resp)
If (success = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

'  Display the JSON response.
outFile.WriteLine(resp.BodyStr)

outFile.Close
