    // Authorization: Bearer [YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN]          <-- Chilkat automatically adds this header because the AuthToken property was set.
    // Content-Length: 38                               <-- Chilkat will automatically add this header.
    // Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8    <-- This is the type of this POST, and is specified in the call to HttpJson.
    // X-Upload-Content-Type: application/zip           <-- The type of file we'll be uploading
    // X-Upload-Content-Length: 1366807                 <-- The size of the file we'll be uploading
