# 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.
