# 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. 

$http = chilkat::CkHttp->new();

$http->put_BasicAuth(1);
$http->put_Login("API_USERNAME");
$http->put_Password("API_PASSWORD");

$url = "https://<site>.cardconnect.com:<port>/cardconnect/rest/";
$responseStr = $http->quickGetStr($url);

if ($http->get_LastMethodSuccess() == 0) {
    print $http->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# If we get a 200 response status and an HTML response saying "CardConnect REST Servlet", then our credentials are correct.
print "response status code = " . $http->get_LastStatus() . "\r\n";

print "response string:" . "\r\n";
print $responseStr . "\r\n";

# Sample output:

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