// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Note: The code for setting up the Chilkat REST object and making the initial connection can be done once.
// Once connected, the REST object may be re-used for many REST API calls.
// (It's a good idea to put the connection setup code in a separate function/subroutine.)
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// It is assumed we previously obtained an OAuth2 access token.
// This example loads the JSON access token file
// saved by this example: Get Google Contacts OAuth2 Access Token

// Provide the authentication credentials (i.e. the access token)
rest.setAuthGoogle(gAuth);
// ----------------------------------------------
// OK, the REST connection setup is completed..
// ----------------------------------------------
// To retrieve the contacts, we need to send the following:
// GET /m8/feeds/contacts/default/full
// GData-Version: 3.0

// in the response body.

// Let's get the URL and parse the contactId from it..
