* It requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
* See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

* Note: Define your Twitter apps at https://apps.twitter.com/

* We're going to send an HTTPS POST that looks like this:

* POST /oauth2/token HTTP/1.1
* Host: api.twitter.com
* User-Agent: My Twitter App v1.0.23
* Authorization: Basic eHZ6MWV2RlM0d0VFUFRHRUZQSEJvZzpMOHFxOVBaeVJn
*                      NmllS0dFS2hab2xHQzB2SldMdzhpRUo4OERSZHlPZw==
* Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8
* Content-Length: 29
* Accept-Encoding: gzip
* 
* grant_type=client_credentials

* Update these values with your consumer key and secret (also known as API key and API secret).
lcConsumerKey = "TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY"
lcConsumerSecret = "TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET"

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

loHttp.BasicAuth = 1
loHttp.Login = lcConsumerKey
loHttp.Password = lcConsumerSecret

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.HttpRequest')
loReq = CreateObject('Chilkat.HttpRequest')
loReq.AddParam("grant_type","client_credentials")

loResp = loHttp.PostUrlEncoded("https://api.twitter.com/oauth2/token",loReq)
IF (loHttp.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loHttp
    RELEASE loReq
    CANCEL
ENDIF

? "Response Status Code: " + STR(loResp.StatusCode)

IF (loResp.StatusCode <> 200) THEN
    ? "Expected a 200 response status code for success."
    ? loResp.BodyStr
    RELEASE loHttp
    RELEASE loReq
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* We should get a JSON response like this:

* {
*     "token_type":"bearer",
*     "access_token":"..."
* }

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.JsonObject')
loJson = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loJson.Load(loResp.BodyStr)
