Demonstrates Rest.AddPathParam, which adds or replaces a path-substitution parameter. Before a request is sent, each occurrence of the name in the URI path is replaced with its value.

        // Connect to the REST server.  The 3rd argument enables TLS (use true for HTTPS on port 443),
        // and the 4th enables automatic reconnection if the connection is dropped between requests.

            // Add path-substitution parameters.  Before a request is sent, each occurrence of the name in the
            // URI path is replaced with the value.  This keeps the path template readable.

            // The placeholders in the path are replaced before the request is sent.
