Send a Staged REST Request with a Streamed Body

Demonstrates Rest.SendReqStreamBody, which sends a request whose body is read from a Stream, then reads the response in separate steps.

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.

Background. The staged request model separates sending from reading: a SendReq method transmits the request, ReadResponseHeader reads the status line and headers, and a ReadResp method reads the body. This gives fine control over large or streamed messages compared with the single-call full-request methods.
