void ChilkatSample(void)

    bool success = false;

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

    CkHttp http;

    //  Implements the following CURL command:

    //  curl -G https://api.clickatell.com/http/sendmsg \
    //    -d "api_id=xxxx" \
    //    -d "user=yourUsername" \
    //    -d "password=yourPassword" \
    //    -d "from=yourFromPhoneNumber" \
    //    -d "to=receiverPhoneNumber" \
    //    -d "text=The text of your message"

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

    queryParams.UpdateString("to","receiverPhoneNumber");
    queryParams.UpdateString("text","The text of your message");

    //  If the following URL does not work, then try "https://api.clickatell.com/http/sendmsg"
    CkHttpResponse resp;
    success = http.HttpParams("GET","https://platform.clickatell.com/messages/http/send",queryParams,resp);
