// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// 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.

loHttp.BasicAuth = .T.

// If we get a 200 response status and an HTML response saying "CardConnect REST Servlet", then our credentials are correct.
? "response status code = " + str(loHttp.LastStatus)

? "response string:"

// Sample output:

// response status code = 200
// response string:
// <html lang="en"><body><h1>CardConnect REST Servlet</h1></body></html
