'  URL: https://your-domain.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/SCRUM-13
Dim bTls As Boolean = True
Dim port As Integer = 443
Dim bAutoReconnect As Boolean = True
success = rest.Connect("your-domain.atlassian.net",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine("ConnectFailReason: " & rest.ConnectFailReason)
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


rest.SetAuthBasic("jira@example.com","JIRA_API_TOKEN")

rest.AddHeader("Accept","application/json")

Dim sbResponseBody As New Chilkat.StringBuilder
success = rest.FullRequestNoBodySb("DELETE","/rest/api/2/issue/SCRUM-13",sbResponseBody)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If

Dim respStatusCode As Integer = rest.ResponseStatusCode

Dim jsonResponse As New Chilkat.JsonObject
jsonResponse.LoadSb(sbResponseBody)

Dim i As Integer
Dim count_i As Integer
Dim strVal As String

i = 0
count_i = jsonResponse.SizeOfArray("errorMessages")
While i < count_i
    jsonResponse.I = i
    strVal = jsonResponse.StringOf("errorMessages[i]")
    i = i + 1
End While
