REST POST JSON using Gzip Content Encoding

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates how to send a JSON POST using the gzip Content-Encoding. Rust

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

// Use the online tool at https://tools.chilkat.io/Default.cshtml
// to generate the JSON code that creates this JSON:

// {
//     "lists": [
//         {
//             "id": "1511199999"
//         }
//     ],
//     "confirmed": false,
//     "email_addresses": [
//         {
//             "email_address": "support@chilkatsoft.com"
//         }
//     ],
//     "first_name": "Matt",
//     "last_name": "Smith"
// }
//
