* if you don't have a Client ID yet you can still quickly test some basic request types using the following URL and credentials:

* Test URL - https://test.realexpayments.com/epage-remote.cgi
* Client ID: realexsandbox
* Shared Secret: Po8lRRT67a
lcTestUrl = "https://test.realexpayments.com/epage-remote.cgi"

* A status code of 200 indicates we received an XML response, but it could be an error message.

* <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
* <response timestamp="20200418142356">
*     <orderid>N6qsk4kYRZihmPrTXWYS6g</orderid>

* We need to check the "result" within the XML.
