Send a Staged REST Request with No Body

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.SendReqNoBody, which sends a request without a body as the first step of the staged request model. After it succeeds, the response header and body are read separately.

// Important: Don't forget to include the call to System.loadLibrary
// as shown at the bottom of this code sample.
