    // 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. 

    var http = new chilkat.Http();

    http.BasicAuth = true;

    http.Password = "API_PASSWORD";

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

    if (http.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
        console.log(http.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

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

    console.log("response string:");
    console.log(responseStr);

    // Sample output:

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