(MFC) Glacier Initiate Inventory Retrieval Job

Demonstrates how to initiate an inventory retrieval job to get a list of archives from the examplevault vault. The Format set to CSV in the body of the request indicates that the inventory is returned in CSV format.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.78 or greater.
