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

    // Use the Chilkat Email API to create or load an email.
    email := chilkat.NewEmail()
    email.SetSubject("This is a test GMail email created using Chilkat.")
    email.SetCharset("utf-8")
    email.AddPlainTextAlternativeBody("This is a test")
    email.AddHtmlAlternativeBody("<html><body><p>This is a <b>test</b></body></html>")

    // We'll need to get the full MIME of the email encoded to a base64url string.
    sbMime := chilkat.NewStringBuilder()
    email.GetMimeSb(sbMime)
    sbMime.Encode("base64url","utf-8")

    // The body of the HTTP request will be JSON..
    json := chilkat.NewJsonObject()
    json.UpdateSb("message.raw",sbMime)

    // Upload the email to GMail as a draft.
    http := chilkat.NewHttp()
    http.SetAuthToken("GMAIL-ACCESS-TOKEN")

    url := "https://www.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/me/drafts"

    success = http.HttpJson("POST",url,json,"application/json",resp)

    // A status code of 200 indicates success.
