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

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Http')

* Send the following request:

* curl -X POST -u "apikey:{apikey}"

*    --data "{\"text\":\"When life gives you lemons, order the lobster tail.\"}" 
*    --output lobster.wav "{url}/v1/synthesize?voice=en-US_AllisonV3Voice"
