(Classic ASP) CardConnect Validate Merchant-Level Credentials

To test and validate merchant-level credentials, you can make a PUT request, including the merchant ID in the body of the request, to the base URL. The Gateway verifies that the MID matches the credentials provided in the header.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

' If we get a 200 response status and an HTML response saying "CardConnect REST Servlet", then our credentials are correct.

Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( resp.BodyStr) & "</pre>"

' Sample output:
