* 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.

* {

*   "sortOrder": 1,
*   "target": "API Name or ID",
*   "targetType": "ListView | ObjectHome | Record | Tab"

loJson.UpdateString("name","Favorite Name")
loJson.UpdateInt("sortOrder",1)
loJson.UpdateString("target","API Name or ID")
