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

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Http')
loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')

* Use this online tool to generate code from sample JSON: Generate Code to Create JSON

* The following JSON is sent in the request body.

* {
*   "name": {
*     "en": "Top hat"
*   },
*   "slug": {
*     "en": "top-hat"
*   },
*   "orderHint": "0.1"
* }

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.JsonObject')
loJson = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loJson.UpdateString("name.en","Top hat")
loJson.UpdateString("slug.en","top-hat")
loJson.UpdateString("orderHint","0.1")

* Adds the "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>" header.
loHttp.AuthToken = "<access_token>"
loHttp.SetRequestHeader("Content-Type","application/json")

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.StringBuilder')
loSbRequestBody = CreateObject('Chilkat.StringBuilder')
