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

Dim http As New Chilkat.Http

// The Cookie header field has this format:
// Cookie: name1=value1 [; name2=value2] ...

// Build an HTTP POST request:
Dim req As New Chilkat.HttpRequest
req.SetFromUrl "http://www.chilkatsoft.com/echoPost.asp"
req.HttpVerb = "POST"

req.AddParam "param1","value1"
req.AddParam "param2","value2"

// To add cookies to any HTTP request sent by a Chilkat HTTP method
// that uses an HTTP request object, add the cookies to the
// request object by calling AddHeader.  

// Add two cookies:
req.AddHeader "Cookie","user=""mary""; city=""Chicago"""

// Send the HTTP POST.  
// (The cookies are sent as part of the HTTP header.)

Dim domain As String
