// This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// 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.

bool bAutoReconnect = true;
bool success = rest.Connect("<yournamespace>.servicebus.windows.net",443,true,bAutoReconnect);

// Let's load a previously computed SAS token and use it.
// See Azure Shared Access Signature for an example to genenerate an Azure SAS token.

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

// To delete a message, we'll need either the SequenceNumber or MessageId.
// When the message was peek-locked, the SequenceNumber and MessageId of the locked message
// was returned in the HTTP response header named "BrokerProperties, which contained
// JSON such as the following:
// 
// 	{
// 	  "DeliveryCount": 1,
// 	  "EnqueuedSequenceNumber": 3000004,
// 	  "EnqueuedTimeUtc": "Wed, 07 Dec 2016 17:42:48 GMT",
// 	  "Label": "M3",
// 	  "LockToken": "6eeee205-e541-4cb6-95fb-4c81da5f6858",
// 	  "LockedUntilUtc": "Thu, 08 Dec 2016 00:57:32 GMT",
// 	  "MessageId": "e8028116d63c43f191577f2789b1cca7",
// 	  "SequenceNumber": 4,
// 	  "State": "Active",
// 	  "TimeToLive": 922337193600
// 	}

// 
// The path for unlocking a message is constructed as follows, depending on
// whether it is a message on a queue or subscription:
// 
// (for a queue)
// /{queuePath}/messages/{messageId|sequenceNumber}/{lockToken}
// 
// (for a subscription)
// /{topicPath}/subscriptions/{subscriptionName}/messages/{messageId|sequenceNumber}/{lockToken}

// This example will build a path to delete a message contained in a subscription.
