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

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Http")
set http = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.Http")

' Implements the following CURL command:

' curl -X POST "https://api.x.com/2/tweets" \
' -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
' -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
' -d '{"text":"Hello, X.com! This is my first post using the API."}'

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

' Use this online tool to generate code from sample JSON:
