    var success = false;

    var rest = new chilkat.Rest();

    //  Connect to the REST server.  The 3rd argument enables TLS (use true for HTTPS on port 443),
    //  and the 4th enables automatic reconnection if the connection is dropped between requests.

    var bAutoReconnect = true;
    success = rest.Connect("example.com",443,bTls,bAutoReconnect);

    //  Add path-substitution parameters.  Before a request is sent, each occurrence of the name in the
    //  URI path is replaced with the value.  This keeps the path template readable.

    rest.AddPathParam("{orderId}","98765");
