;  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$oHttp = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Http")

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

;  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$ - [L]
;  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
;  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
;  RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
;  </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$ - [L]
;  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
;  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
;  RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
;  </IfModule>
