//  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

//  Specifiy a session log file so we can see the exact request/response
$http->SessionLogFilename = 'c:/aaworkarea/sessionLog.txt';

//  Perhaps add a custom header or two..

//  The GET request that is sent looks like this.
//  The Accept and Accept-Encoding headers are automatically added by default.

//  Let's say we want to send a DELETE request, and we only want to accept an application/json response,
//  and we don't want gzipped responses...

//  First remove the previously specified custom headers.

//  The DELETE request that is sent looks like this.
//  The empty Accept-Encoding header value means we only want non-compressed responses.
