Client Certificate in REST

Demonstrates how to use a client certificate with a REST connection. Lianja

// Note: There are other ways to set the client certificate using Chilkat.
// For example, on Windows systems, a Chilkat certificate object could be loaded with certificate
// pre-installed (with private key) in a Windows certificate store, and then socket.SetSslClientCert could be called.
