Demonstrates how the autoReconnect argument to the Connect method is used. CkPython

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

rest = chilkat.CkRest()

# This example demonstrates the usage of the autoReconnect argument to the Connect method.
# When autoReconnect is on, subsequent REST method calls will automatically re-connect
# if necessary, using the same information (domain/IP address, port number, and TLS).
bTls = False
port = 80
bAutoReconnect = True
success = rest.Connect("dev.markitondemand.com",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect)

# Get a stock quote:
success = rest.AddQueryParam("symbol","AAPL")
responseXml = rest.fullRequestNoBody("GET","/MODApis/Api/v2/Quote")

# Get another stock quote.  If a new HTTP connection is required,
# the REST object will automatically connect using the same parameters.
