' 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")

' Use your WordPress login, such as "admin", not the application name.
http.Login = "wp_username"
' Use the application password, such as "Nths RwVH eDJ4 weNZ orMN jabq"
' See WordPress Application Passwords Plugin
http.Password = "app_password"
http.BasicAuth = 1

' Note: For this to work, you'll likely need to update your .htaccess file on your WordPress server.
' Otherwise you'll get this error:
' 
' 401 : Sorry, you are not allowed to create posts as this user
' 
' Your default .htaccess file probably looks like this:
' 
' <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
' RewriteEngine On
' RewriteBase /
' RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - 
' RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
' RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
' RewriteRule . /index.php 
' </IfModule>
' # END WordPress
' 
' Add the following line immediately after the "RewriteEngine On" line:    RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
' Your .htaccess file should look like this after the edit:
' 
' <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
' RewriteEngine On
' RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
' RewriteBase /
' RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - 
' RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
' RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
' RewriteRule . /index.php 
' </IfModule>
' # END WordPress
