'  Note: The application does not need to explicitly set the following
'  headers: Content-Length, x-ms-date, Authorization.  These headers
'  are automatically set by Chilkat.

'  Note: The above code does not need to be repeatedly called for each REST request.
'  The rest object can be setup once, and then many requests can be sent.  Chilkat will automatically
'  reconnect within a FullRequest* method as needed.  It is only the very first connection that is explicitly
'  made via the Connect method.
