exists is false both when no connection has the name and when the caller cannot read it, so a false does not guarantee that Add a connection will accept the name.

name	query	string	Yes	Connection name.

Example

curl -u admin:password -G \
  "http://localhost:28080/datafor/plugin/datafor-modeler/api/connection/checkexists" \
  --data-urlencode "name=Sales DW"

{ "success": true, "exists": true }
