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

    const http = try chilkat.Http.init();
    defer http.deinit();

    // Use your WordPress login, such as "admin", not the application name.
    http.setLogin("wp_username");
    // Use the application password, such as "Nths RwVH eDJ4 weNZ orMN jabq"
    // See WordPress Application Passwords Plugin

    // Note: For this to work, you'll likely need to update your .htaccess file on your WordPress server.
    // Otherwise you'll get this error:
    //
    // 401 : Sorry, you are not allowed to create posts as this user
    //
    // Your default .htaccess file probably looks like this:
    //
    // <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    // RewriteEngine On
    // RewriteBase /
    // RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
    // RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    // RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    // RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    // </IfModule>
    // # END WordPress
    //
    // Add the following line immediately after the "RewriteEngine On" line:    RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
    // Your .htaccess file should look like this after the edit:
    //
    // <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    // RewriteEngine On
    // RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
    // RewriteBase /
    // RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
    // RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
