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

    var http = new chilkat.Http();

    // To use HTTP Basic authentication:
    http.Login = "myLogin";
    http.Password = "myPassword";
    http.BasicAuth = true;

    // Run the test using this URL with the credentials above.  
    // (Works while httpbin.org keeps the test endpoint available.)
    var jsonResponse = http.QuickGetStr("https://httpbin.org/basic-auth/myLogin/myPassword");
    if (http.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
        console.log(http.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    console.log("Response status code: " + http.LastStatus);

    console.log(jsonResponse);

    // Output:

    // Response status code: 200
    // {
    //   "authenticated": true, 
    //   "user": "myLogin"
    // }
