    //  Content-Length: 72
    //  
    //  {"user":"doctoravatar@penzance.com","forecast":7,"t":"vlIj","zip":94089}

    //  First, remove default header fields that would be automatically
    //  sent.  (These headers are harmless, and shouldn't need to 
    //  be suppressed, but just in case...)

    //  a gzip response:
    CkHttp_putAllowGzip(http,FALSE);

    jsonText = "{\"user\":\"doctoravatar@penzance.com\",\"forecast\":7,\"t\":\"vlIj\",\"zip\":94089}";
