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

* This example also assumes an OAuth2 access token was previously fetched.
* and saved in a JSON file.  

* First get our previously obtained access token.
* {"access_token":"e6dqdG....mzjpT04w==","token_type":"Bearer","expires_in":2592000,"owner_id":999236}

* Connect to GeoOp..
* Note: The same REST object, once connected, can be used for many requests.
* The bAutoReconnect argument allows it to automatically reconnect as required for any subsequent request.

* Provide the authentication credentials (i.e. the access token)
loRest.SetAuthOAuth2(loOauth2)

* Set the X-Version header.
loRest.AddHeader("X-Version","1.0")

* To create a new user, we must build and send the following JSON:
