    // 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.
