-- See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

-- Make the initial connection.
-- A single REST object, once connected, can be used for many Azure Service Bus REST API calls.
-- The auto-reconnect indicates that if the already-established HTTPS connection is closed,
-- then it will be automatically re-established as needed.

-- The code above this comment could be placed inside a function/subroutine within the application
