// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.

// Here is an example of an HTTP POST Request we'll be sending:

// POST /WebServices/MFET/ HTTP/1.1
// Content-Type: text/xml
// SOAPAction: NewSubmission
//  
// <soapenv:Envelope
//   xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"

// In the above XML, the "TRANSMISSION_XML_FILE_CONTENTS_AS_BASE64" contains the base64 encoded
// string of the XML file that contains "<Transmission> ... </Transmission>"
// First let's load the transmission XML file and get the contents as base64.
