    // Note: The above code does not need to be repeatedly called for each REST request.
    // The rest object can be setup once, and then many requests can be sent.  Chilkat will automatically
    // reconnect within a FullRequest* method as needed.  It is only the very first connection that is explicitly
    // made via the Connect method.
