Dim bTls As Boolean = True
Dim port As Integer = 443

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
