function chilkatExample() {

    var success = false;

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

    var http = new chilkat.Http();

    // Call SetSslCertRequirement to require that the SSL server certificate's domain
    // matches only the domain we are intending to communicate with.

    // In this example we will test with the URL https://wrong.host.badssl.com/
    // which intentionally has an SSL certificate that does not match "wrong.host.badssl.com"

    http.SetSslCertRequirement("SAN","wrong.host.badssl.com");

    // Also validate the server cert..
    http.RequireSslCertVerify = true;

    // Try sending the request.  It should fail within the SSL/TLS handshake
    // because the server's certificate does not match the domain "wrong.host.badssl.com"
