CardConnect Test API Credentials

To test and validate site-level credentials, you can make a GET request with no body to the base URL.

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

    // The CardConnect REST Web Service base URL includes a protocol, host, port and servlet specification.
    // 
    // For example:
    // https://<site>.cardconnect.com:<port>/cardconnect/rest/
    // 
    // This represents an HTTPS request to the REST web service base URL. 
    // The servlet name is fixed within the application; the host and port are assigned by CardConnect.

    CkHttp_putBasicAuth(http,TRUE);
    CkHttp_putLogin(http,"API_USERNAME");
    CkHttp_putPassword(http,"API_PASSWORD");

    url = "https://<site>.cardconnect.com:<port>/cardconnect/rest/";

        printf("%s\n",CkHttp_lastErrorText(http));
        CkHttp_Dispose(http);
        return;
    }

    // If we get a 200 response status and an HTML response saying "CardConnect REST Servlet", then our credentials are correct.
    printf("response status code = %d\n",CkHttp_getLastStatus(http));

    printf("response string:\n");
    printf("%s\n",responseStr);

    // Sample output:

    // response status code = 200
    // response string:
    // <html lang="en"><body><h1>CardConnect REST Servlet</h1></body></html
