AutoIt

Local $bSuccess = False

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

;  Note: Define your Twitter apps at https://apps.twitter.com/

;  We're going to send an HTTPS POST that looks like this:

;  POST /oauth2/token HTTP/1.1
;  Host: api.twitter.com
;  User-Agent: My Twitter App v1.0.23
;  Authorization: Basic eHZ6MWV2RlM0d0VFUFRHRUZQSEJvZzpMOHFxOVBaeVJn
;                       NmllS0dFS2hab2xHQzB2SldMdzhpRUo4OERSZHlPZw==
;  Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8
;  Content-Length: 29
;  Accept-Encoding: gzip
;  
;  grant_type=client_credentials

;  Update these values with your consumer key and secret (also known as API key and API secret).
