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

http = Chilkat::CkHttp.new()

# Implements the following CURL command:

# curl -G https://api.clickatell.com/http/sendmsg \
#   -d "api_id=xxxx" \
#   -d "user=yourUsername" \
#   -d "password=yourPassword" \
#   -d "from=yourFromPhoneNumber" \
#   -d "to=receiverPhoneNumber" \
#   -d "text=The text of your message"

# Use the following online tool to generate HTTP code from a CURL command
# Convert a cURL Command to HTTP Source Code

# If the following URL does not work, then try "https://api.clickatell.com/http/sendmsg"
# resp is a CkHttpResponse
