func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

    // 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"
