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

# Implements the following CURL command:

# curl -X GET --user wp_username:app_password https://www.yoursite.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?page=1

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

# Use your WordPress login, such as "admin", not the application name.
http.put_Login("wp_username")
# Use the application password, such as "Nths RwVH eDJ4 weNZ orMN jabq"
http.put_Password("app_password")
