Create a new list using a POST call to the /contact_lists endpoint. Lua

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

local http = chilkat.Http.new()

-- Implements the following CURL command:

-- curl -X POST \
--   https://api.cc.email/v3/contact_lists \
--   -H 'Accept: application/json' \
--   -H 'Authorization: Bearer {access_token}' \
--   -H 'cache-control: no-cache' \
--   -H 'content-type: application/json' \
--   -d '{
--   "name": "Multiple purchases",
--   "favorite": true,
--   "description": "List of repeat customers"
-- }'
