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

loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')

* Use the following online tool to generate HTTP code from a CURL command
* Convert a cURL Command to HTTP Source Code

* This causes the "Authorization: Basic ****" to be added to each request.
