  // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  final http = CkHttp();

  // Use your WordPress login, such as "admin", not the application name.
  http.login = 'wp_username';
  // Use the application password, such as "Nths RwVH eDJ4 weNZ orMN jabq"
  // See WordPress Application Passwords Plugin
  http.password = 'app_password';

  // Note: For this to work, you'll likely need to update your .htaccess file on your WordPress server.
  // Otherwise you'll get this error:
  // 
  // 401 : Sorry, you are not allowed to create posts as this user
  // 
  // Your default .htaccess file probably looks like this:
  // 
  // <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  // RewriteEngine On
  // RewriteBase /
  // RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
  // RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  // RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  // RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
  // </IfModule>
  // # END WordPress
  // 
  // Add the following line immediately after the "RewriteEngine On" line:    RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
  // Your .htaccess file should look like this after the edit:
  // 
  // <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  // RewriteEngine On
  // RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
  // RewriteBase /
  // RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
  // RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  // RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  // RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
  // </IfModule>
