    // This example duplicates the following CURL statement provided in the hotelbeds.com "Getting Started"
    // developer documentation:

    // #!/bin/bash 
    // apiKey="yourApiKey"
    // secret="yourSecret"
    // curl -i \
    //   -X GET \
    //   -H 'Accept:application/json' \

    //   -H 'X-Signature:'$(echo -n ${apiKey}${secret}$(date +%s)|sha256sum|awk '{ print $1}')'' \
    //   https://api.test.hotelbeds.com/hotel-api/1.0/status

    // The "date + %s" command emits a UNIX date/time number such as 1605548842
    // We need to concatenate the apiKey, secret, and current date/time in UNIX (numeric) time format.

    // Get the UNIX time string in the GMT timezone.
    var bLocalTime = false;

    console.log(unixTimeStr);

    // Use your own API key and secret.  (These are not valid values)
    var apiKey = "227b20a2cb705e45f3b0a0944672dc07";
    var secret = "54dc7ba9e2";

    var sb = new chilkat.StringBuilder();
    sb.Append(apiKey);
    sb.Append(secret);
    sb.Append(unixTimeStr);
