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

    // If we know a query param value does not have any special chars requiring URL encoding,
    // just add it.  In this case, there is no need to URL encode "123" because "123" url encoded is still just "123".
