//  Here is an example of an HTTP POST Request we'll be sending:

//  In the above XML, the "TRANSMISSION_XML_FILE_CONTENTS_AS_BASE64" contains the base64 encoded
//  string of the XML file that contains "<Transmission> ... </Transmission>"
//  First let's load the transmission XML file and get the contents as base64.
