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

http = chilkat2.Http()

# The XML sent in the body of the request is application
# specified -- it should contain whatever the server-side
# application is expecting..
xmlStr = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><appXml><something>123</something></appXml>"

urlEndpoint = "http://www.chilkatsoft.com/xmlEcho.asp"
xmlCharset = "utf-8"

resp = chilkat2.HttpResponse()
success = http.HttpStr("POST",urlEndpoint,xmlStr,xmlCharset,"application/xml",resp)
if (success == False):
    print(http.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# The raw HTTP request sent by the above call is:

# POST /xmlEcho.asp HTTP/1.1
# Content-Type: text/xml
# Host: www.chilkatsoft.com
# Accept: */*
# Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*; q=0.7
# Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5
# Accept-Encoding: gzip
# Content-Length: 81
# 
# <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><appXml><something>123</something></appXml>

# Examine the Body of the HTTP response
# This would be the XML response sent by the server.
