* 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 -X POST \
*   https://api.cc.email/v3/contact_lists \
*   -H 'Accept: application/json' \
*   -H 'Authorization: Bearer {access_token}' \
*   -H 'cache-control: no-cache' \

*   "favorite": true,
*   "description": "List of repeat customers"
* }'
