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

#  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'
#  --data-binary @your-file-path
