Download a Binary REST Response into BinData

Demonstrates Rest.FullRequestNoBodyBd, which sends a request with no body and stores the binary response body in a BinData.

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. This method is appropriate when the response is binary, such as an image or file download, allowing the received bytes to be saved or processed directly.
