+  Custom request header example for the ArduinoHttpClient
+  library. This example sends a GET and a POST request with a custom header every 5 seconds.
+
+  note: WiFi SSID and password are stored in config.h file.
+  If it is not present, add a new tab, call it "config.h"
+  and add the following variables:
+  char ssid[] = "ssid";     //  your network SSID (name)
+  char pass[] = "password"; // your network password
+
+  based on SimpleGet example by Tom Igoe
+  header modifications by Todd Treece
+
+  this example is in the public domain
