Demonstrates how to send a JSON POST using the gzip Content-Encoding. C#

bool success = false;

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

//  Use the online tool at https://tools.chilkat.io/Default.cshtml
//  to generate the JSON code that creates this JSON:

//  {

//      "email_addresses": [
//          {
//              "email_address": "support@chilkatsoft.com"

//      "first_name": "Matt",
//      "last_name": "Smith"
//  }
