  --form media=@msg_123_abc.wav \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}"

Dim success As Long

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

'  Insert your Bearer token here:
Dim accessToken As String
accessToken = "VOICEBASE_TOKEN"

Dim http As New ChilkatHttp

Dim req As New ChilkatHttpRequest

'  having the following format:
'  Authorization: Bearer <userAccessToken>
Dim sbAuth As New ChilkatStringBuilder

success = sbAuth.Append(accessToken)
req.AddHeader "Authorization",sbAuth.GetAsString()
