'  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. 

Dim http As ChilkatHttp
http.Initialize("http")

http.BasicAuth = True
http.Login = "API_USERNAME"
http.Password = "API_PASSWORD"

Dim url As String = "https://<site>.cardconnect.com:<port>/cardconnect/rest/"
Dim responseStr As String = http.QuickGetStr(url)

If http.LastMethodSuccess = False Then
    Log(http.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If


'  If we get a 200 response status and an HTML response saying "CardConnect REST Servlet", then our credentials are correct.
Log("response status code = " & http.LastStatus)

Log("response string:")
Log(responseStr)

'  Sample output:

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