-- 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 https://connect.squareup.com/v2/catalog/object/object_id0 \
--   -X DELETE \
--   -H 'Square-Version: 2020-07-22' \
--   -H 'Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN' \
--   -H 'Content-Type: application/json'

-- Use the following online tool to generate HTTP code from a CURL command
-- Convert a cURL Command to HTTP Source Code

-- Adds the "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN" header.
http.auth_token = "ACCESS_TOKEN"
http:set_request_header("Square-Version", "2020-07-22")
http:set_request_header("Content-Type", "application/json")

-- This example uses the sandbox: connect.squareupsandbox.com
-- Production should use connect.squareup.com
