//  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.
