1. http_post with data in body

I want to drive Chrome via chromedriver (or Firefox via geckodriver, ...). Thies drivers are part of SeleniumHQ.
To do this, I need to add "Content-type: application/json" in the header, "{\"desiredCapabilities\";{})" in the body and post the request to the driver at localhost:9515. How can I do this with http_post?
I tried to do this with WinHTTP (Eu3 Standard library) but I don't know how to fill the body of the request.
Regards
Jean-Marc

I found two methods working with curl:
1) put the json part in a file then call
curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8" -X POST -d @data.json http://127.0.0.1:9515/session
2) Escape quotes in data part
curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8" -X POST -d "{\"desiredCapabilities\": {}}" http://127.0.0.1:9515/session
When run from within Euphoria there will be many more escape chars. As this runs with curl, it should also work with libcurl and probably also with WinHTTP (at least second solution).
