// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// Send the following GET request to get a binary response.
// The body of the binary response contains the image data for the QR code.
// https://api.qrserver.com/v1/create-qr-code/?data=[URL-encoded-text]&size=[pixels]x[pixels]

// Possible formats are:
// png
// gif
// jpeg
// jpg
// svg
// eps
// Case matters.  Use lowercase.

// Chilkat will add the url-encoded query params passed in the JSON.

// See the online reference documentation for the function to access the bytes directly.
