$http = New-Object Chilkat.Http

$url = "https://example.com/something"
$jsonText = "{ ... }"

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The PostJson method is deprecated:

$responseObj = $http.PostJson($url,$jsonText)
if ($http.LastMethodSuccess -eq $false) {
    $($http.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

# ...

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Do the equivalent using HttpStr.
# Your application creates a new, empty HttpResponse object which is passed 
# in the last argument and filled upon success.

$responseOut = New-Object Chilkat.HttpResponse
$success = $http.HttpStr("POST",$url,$jsonText,"utf-8","application/json",$responseOut)
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($http.LastErrorText)
