(MFC) Lower-Level REST API Methods (Google Cloud Storage)

The FullRequest* methods, such as FullRequestBinary, FullRequestMultipart, FullRequestNoBody, FullRequestStream, FullRequestString, etc. are high-level REST API methods that both send the request and receive the response. It is often the case that an application needs make a REST call, but with a finer level of control. The Chilkat REST API provides this feature. An application can break a REST call into the following parts:

  1. Send the HTTP request. (via the SendReq* methods)
  2. Receive the HTTP response header. (ReadResponseHeader)
  3. Receive the HTTP response body. (via the ReadRespBody* methods)

This example demonstrates a REST call using SendReqStringBody, ReadResonseHeader, and ReadRespBodyString.
