local bTls = true
local bAutoReconnect = true
local success = rest:connect("example.com", 443, bTls, bAutoReconnect)
if not success then
    print(rest.last_error_text)
    return
end

rest:add_header("Accept", "application/json")
rest:add_header("X-Custom-Header", "example-value")

-- Remove a previously added request header by name.
rest:remove_header("X-Custom-Header")

local responseText = rest:full_request_no_body("GET", "/api/data")
if not rest.last_method_success then
    print(rest.last_error_text)
