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

# Make the initial connection.
# A single REST object, once connected, can be used for many Azure Service Bus REST API calls.
# The auto-reconnect indicates that if the already-established HTTPS connection is closed,
# then it will be automatically re-established as needed.

# To delete a message, we'll need either the SequenceNumber or MessageId.
# When the message was peek-locked, the SequenceNumber and MessageId of the locked message
# was returned in the HTTP response header named "BrokerProperties, which contained
# JSON such as the following:
# 
# 	{
# 	  "DeliveryCount": 1,
# 	  "EnqueuedSequenceNumber": 3000004,
# 	  "EnqueuedTimeUtc": "Wed, 07 Dec 2016 17:42:48 GMT",
# 	  "Label": "M3",
# 	  "LockToken": "6eeee205-e541-4cb6-95fb-4c81da5f6858",
# 	  "LockedUntilUtc": "Thu, 08 Dec 2016 00:57:32 GMT",
# 	  "MessageId": "e8028116d63c43f191577f2789b1cca7",

# The path for unlocking a message is constructed as follows, depending on
# whether it is a message on a queue or subscription:

# (for a queue)
# /{queuePath}/messages/{messageId|sequenceNumber}/{lockToken}
# 
# (for a subscription)
# /{topicPath}/subscriptions/{subscriptionName}/messages/{messageId|sequenceNumber}/{lockToken}

# This example will build a path to delete a message contained in a subscription.
