#  Note: This example uses two Chilkat products: Chilkat HTTP
#  and Chilkat HTML-to-XML.  The "Chilkat Bundle" can be licensed
#  at a price that is less than purchasing each product individually.
#  The "Chilkat Bundle" provides licenses to all existing Chilkat components.  Also, new-version upgrades are always free.

#  Save the XML to a file.
#  Make sure your charset here matches the charset
