* 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.

* {
*   "FullName": "MyNamedCredential",
*   "Metadata": {
*     "label": "My Named Credential",
*     "endpoint": "arn:aws:AWS_REGION:AWS_ACCOUNT_ID",
*     "principalType": "Anonymous",
*     "protocol": "NoAuthentication"
*   }
* }

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

loJson.UpdateString("Metadata.endpoint","arn:aws:AWS_REGION:AWS_ACCOUNT_ID")
