-Getting the current status of a channel, including details of the current number of `Publishers`, `Subscribers` and `PresenceMembers` etc is simple

-ChannelDetails details = channel.Status();

 ### Symmetric end-to-end encrypted payloads on a channel
 
 When a 128-bit or 256-bit key is provided to the library, all payloads are encrypted and decrypted automatically using that key on the channel. The secret key is never transmitted to Ably and thus it is the developer's responsibility to distribute a secret key to both publishers and subscribers.

 ### Making explicit HTTP requests to Ably Rest Endpoints / Batch publish
 - The `AblyRest->Request` method should be used to make explicit HTTP requests.
 - It automatically adds necessary auth headers based on the initial auth config and supports pagination.
