Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

# 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-Object Chilkat.Http

$http.BasicAuth = $true
$http.Login = "API_USERNAME"
$http.Password = "API_PASSWORD"

$url = "https://<site>.cardconnect.com:<port>/cardconnect/rest/"
$responseStr = $http.QuickGetStr($url)

if ($http.LastMethodSuccess -eq $false) {
    $($http.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

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

$("response string:")
$($responseStr)

# Sample output:

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