Hello Martina,

I am trying to use this COM Object to test a webservice, thinking I should use something like GetResponse(). However it does not exist a method like that, only GetResponseHeader(), which is not what I would have expected.

What I did so far, but without success, is to get a list as in this example:
https://api.predic8.de/shop/products/

So I tried it like the following:

req = CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpResponse.5.1")
req.Open("POST", "https://api.predic8.de/shop/products/", .F.)
req.SetRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
MESSAGEBOX(req.Send())
MESSAGEBOX(req.ResponseText)

Send() returns null, ResponseText contains an error, because it expected data to be sent. So I wonder if this is the complete wrong approach, or I am trying with the wrong api, or i am missing something?
