// 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. 

Dim http As New Chilkat.Http

http.BasicAuth = True
http.Login = "API_USERNAME"
http.Password = "API_PASSWORD"

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

If (http.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(http.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

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

System.DebugLog("response string:")
System.DebugLog(responseStr)

// Sample output:

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