    // 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.

    http.put_BasicAuth(true);

        std::cout << http.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    // If we get a 200 response status and an HTML response saying "CardConnect REST Servlet", then our credentials are correct.
    std::cout << "response status code = " << http.get_LastStatus() << "\r\n";

    std::cout << "response string:" << "\r\n";
    std::cout << responseStr << "\r\n";

    // Sample output:

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