#  It requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
#  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

#  Note: Define your Twitter apps at https://apps.twitter.com/

#  We're going to send an HTTPS POST that looks like this:

#  POST /oauth2/token HTTP/1.1
#  Host: api.twitter.com
#  User-Agent: My Twitter App v1.0.23
#  Authorization: Basic eHZ6MWV2RlM0d0VFUFRHRUZQSEJvZzpMOHFxOVBaeVJn

#  Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8
#  Content-Length: 29
#  Accept-Encoding: gzip
#  
#  grant_type=client_credentials

#  Update these values with your consumer key and secret (also known as API key and API secret).
