Send a simple email using Mailgun. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

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

local http = chilkat.Http.new()

-- Implements the following CURL command:

-- curl -s --user 'api:SENDING_API_KEY' \
--      https://api.mailgun.net/v3/YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME/messages \
--      -F from='Your Name <mailgun@YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME>' \
--      -F to='Joe Example <joe@example.com>' \
--      -F subject='Hello Joe Example' \
--      -F text='Congratulations Joe Example, you just sent an email with Mailgun!  You are truly awesome!'

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

http.login = "api"
http.password = "sending_api_key"-- Replace with your actual sending API key.
