' Note: The application does not need to explicitly set the following

' 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.
