// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// 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. 

CkoHttp *http = [[CkoHttp alloc] init];

http.BasicAuth = YES;
http.Login = @"API_USERNAME";
http.Password = @"API_PASSWORD";

NSString *url = @"https://<site>.cardconnect.com:<port>/cardconnect/rest/";
NSString *responseStr = [http QuickGetStr: url];

if (http.LastMethodSuccess == NO) {
    NSLog(@"%@",http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// If we get a 200 response status and an HTML response saying "CardConnect REST Servlet", then our credentials are correct.
NSLog(@"%@%d",@"response status code = ",[http.LastStatus intValue]);

NSLog(@"%@",@"response string:");
NSLog(@"%@",responseStr);

// Sample output:

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