How to Send an HTTPS GET Request with “Authorization: Bearer ” Header

Question:

I’m using VB6. Can you tell me how I would use your software to duplicate this VB6 code snippet?
I can’t seem to find a way to set headers, use OPEN or SEND.
Any help would be appreciated.

   ' Specify the API URL
   URL = "..."   ' I have the proper URL

   ' Create the HTTP request object
   Dim httpRequest As Object
   Set httpRequest = CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")

 ' Open the connection and set the method to GET
   httpRequest.Open "GET", URL, False

   ' Set the request headers
   httpRequest.SetRequestHeader "Authorization", "Bearer " & bearerToken

   ' Send the request
   httpRequest.Send

   ' Check the response status
   If httpRequest.Status = 200 Then
      ' Request successful
      fileContent = httpRequest.ResponseBody
   end if
