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

// Implements the following CURL command:

// curl -X GET \
//   https://your-webapp-hostname:your-webapp-port/v1/media/4b5bf27b-8672-4d55-bc21-d096dc200d0f \

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

// Adds the "Authorization: Bearer your-auth-token" header.
