* 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 --request POST \
*   --url https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/mail/send \
*   --header 'authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
