// This example assumes 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

// The PUT request to be sent will look like this:

// PUT /request HTTP/1.1
// Content-Type: application/jsonrequest
// Cookie: JSESSIONID=1234
// Content-Encoding: identity
// Host: json.penzance.org
// Accept: application/jsonrequest
// Accept-Encoding:
// Content-Length: 72
// 
// {"user":"doctoravatar@penzance.com","forecast":7,"t":"vlIj","zip":94089}

// First, remove default header fields that would be automatically
// sent.  (These headers are harmless, and shouldn't need to 
// be suppressed, but just in case...)
http.AcceptCharset = ""
http.UserAgent = ""
http.AcceptLanguage = ""

// Suppress the Accept-Encoding header by disallowing 
// a gzip response:
http.AllowGzip = False

// If a Cookie needs to be added...
http.SetRequestHeader "Cookie","JSESSIONID=1234"

// Add the Content-Encoding: identity header.
http.SetRequestHeader "Content-Encoding","identity"

// Modify the default "Accept" header:
http.Accept = "application/jsonrequest"

Dim jsonText As String
jsonText = "{""user"":""doctoravatar@penzance.com"",""forecast"":7,""t"":""vlIj"",""zip"":94089}"

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

// IMPORTANT: Make sure to change the URL, JSON text,
// and other data items to your own values.  The URL used
// in this example will not actually work.

Dim responseBody As String
responseBody = http.PutText("http://json.penzance.org/request",jsonText,"utf-8","application/jsonrequest",False,False)
If (http.LastMethodSuccess <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(http.LastErrorText)
Else
    // Display the JSON response.
    System.DebugLog(responseBody)

End If
