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

loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')

* Implements the following CURL command:

* curl -H "Authorization: Token token={api_token}" \
*      -X POST \
*      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
*      -d '{
