>>>A client wants me to add a facility for his application to exchange data with a website. The website's SDK calls for POSTs and returns JSON. Looks like either Chilkat or wwIPStuff will give me what I need for the communication, so looking for opinions. (If I go with Chilkat, I'll probably use Bill Anderson's new VFPX wrapper class for it.)

>>I've used both (although I sure wish that I had Bill's wrapper class when I did) & have also used WinSCP. In my case WinSCP has generally been best option because it would connect to some FTP's and SFTP's that wwIPStuff would not - didn't dig deep into that with the Chilkat one because it was just 1 FTP it had to connect to. As I recall one of the weird things I had trouble with was connecting to a SFTP that was on a mainframe - WinSCP worked while others did not.

Ahh ok. Doing a project for auto repair shops actually sounds like a lot of fun to me (being a car guy lol).
