Dim success As Boolean = False

'  This example does the following:

'  curl -X GET https://yourInstance.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/userinfo \

Dim http As ChilkatHttp

'  Use the following online tool to generate HTTP code from a CURL command
'  Convert a cURL Command to HTTP Source Code

'  This example assumes the OAuth2 access token was previously fetched 
'  and saved to a file.  See Get SalesForce OAuth2 Access Token via Authorization Flow
