    // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    // This example assumes we previously obtained an access token
    oauth2 := chilkat.NewOAuth2()
    oauth2.SetAccessToken("FACEBOOK-ACCESS-TOKEN")

    rest := chilkat.NewRest()

    // Connect to Facebook and send the following GET request:

    // GET /v2.7/me HTTP/1.1
    // Host: graph.facebook.com
    bAutoReconnect := true
    success := rest.Connect("graph.facebook.com",443,true,bAutoReconnect)
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(rest.LastErrorText())
        oauth2.DisposeOAuth2()
        rest.DisposeRest()
        return
    }

    // Provide the authentication credentials (i.e. the access key)
    rest.SetAuthOAuth2(oauth2)

    responseJson := rest.FullRequestNoBody("GET","/v2.7/me")
    if rest.LastMethodSuccess() != true {

        rest.DisposeRest()
        return
    }

    fmt.Println(*responseJson)

    // The responseJson looks like this:
    // {"name":"John Doe","id":"10111011320111110"}
