This example shows how to use GenerateRequestText to get the HTTP request (headers + body) that would be sent if SynchronousRequest was called with the HTTP request object.

Important: The hostnames and paths in this examples are not intended to be real examples. You should replace all hostnames, paths, etc. with valid data for your own Web service.
