Set a Multipart Part Body from a Stream

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.SetMultipartBodyStream, which uses a Stream as the body source for the selected multipart part.

The file paths are relative to the application's current working directory. Absolute paths may also be used. Supply the paths appropriate to your own environment.
