<?php

// 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. 

$http = new COM("Chilkat.Http");

$http->BasicAuth = 1;
$http->Login = 'API_USERNAME';
$http->Password = 'API_PASSWORD';

$url = 'https://<site>.cardconnect.com:<port>/cardconnect/rest/';
$responseStr = $http->quickGetStr($url);

if ($http->LastMethodSuccess == 0) {
    print $http->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// If we get a 200 response status and an HTML response saying "CardConnect REST Servlet", then our credentials are correct.
print 'response status code = ' . $http->LastStatus . "\n";

print 'response string:' . "\n";
print $responseStr . "\n";

// Sample output:

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