(CkPython) CardConnect Authorization

Demonstrates how to send an Authorization request.

Authorization is the initial step in accepting payment from a cardholder. This action "authorizes" or requests permission from the bank to transfer money from the cardholder to the merchant.

# Build and send the following JSON:

# Note: The CardConnect online documentation might use an expiry that is in the past, such as "1218".
# This causes the request to fail.  Use a month/year that is in the future..
