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

Dim req As New Chilkat.HttpRequest
Dim http As New Chilkat.Http

Dim success As Boolean

//  This example simulates this FORM:
//  <form action="echoPost.asp" method="post">
//  First name: <input type="text" name="firstName"><br />
//  Last name: <input type="text" name="lastName"><br />
//  <input type="submit" value="Submit">
//  </form>
//  The online FORM is found at this URL:
//  https://www.chilkatsoft.com/simpleForm.html

//  Build an HTTP POST Request:
req.HttpVerb = "POST"

//  The FORM target is http://www.chilkatsoft.com/processPost.asp
//  An easy way of filling out most of the HTTP request object
//  is to call SetFromUrl:
req.SetFromUrl "https://www.chilkatsoft.com/echoPost.asp"

//  Send form params using application/x-www-form-urlencoded
req.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

//  The only remaining task is to add the params to the
//  HTTP request object:
req.AddParam "firstName","Matt"
req.AddParam "lastName","Jones"

//  Send the HTTP POST and get the response.
//  The POST is being sent to chilkatsoft.com, on port 443 (using TLS)
Dim domain As String
domain = "chilkatsoft.com"
Dim port As Int32
port = 443
Dim tls As Boolean
tls = True

//  The HTTP POST is sent here:
Dim resp As Chilkat.HttpResponse
resp = http.SynchronousRequest(domain,port,tls,req)
If (http.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(http.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

//  Display the HTML source of the page returned.
System.DebugLog(resp.BodyStr)
