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

loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')

*  Implements the following CURL command:

*  curl -X POST \
*  https://your-webapp-hostname:your-webapp-port/v1/media \
*  -H 'Authorization: Bearer your-auth-token' \ 
*  -H 'Content-Type: image/jpeg'
