CardConnect Test API Credentials

To test and validate site-level credentials, you can make a GET request with no body to the base URL.

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

    // The CardConnect REST Web Service base URL includes a protocol, host, port and servlet specification.
    // 
    // For example:
    // https://<site>.cardconnect.com:<port>/cardconnect/rest/
    // 
    // This represents an HTTPS request to the REST web service base URL. 
    // The servlet name is fixed within the application; the host and port are assigned by CardConnect. 

    http := chilkat.NewHttp()

    http.SetBasicAuth(true)
    http.SetLogin("API_USERNAME")
    http.SetPassword("API_PASSWORD")

    url := "https://<site>.cardconnect.com:<port>/cardconnect/rest/"
    responseStr := http.QuickGetStr(url)

    if http.LastMethodSuccess() == false {
        fmt.Println(http.LastErrorText())
        http.DisposeHttp()
        return
    }

    // If we get a 200 response status and an HTML response saying "CardConnect REST Servlet", then our credentials are correct.
    fmt.Println("response status code = ", http.LastStatus())

    fmt.Println("response string:")
    fmt.Println(*responseStr)

    // Sample output:

    // response status code = 200
    // response string:
    // <html lang="en"><body><h1>CardConnect REST Servlet</h1></body></html
