Send a REST Request with No Body

Demonstrates Rest.FullRequestNoBody, which sends a complete request with no request body (such as a GET or DELETE) and returns the response body as text.

Background. This is the simplest full-request convenience method, ideal for retrieval and deletion calls that carry no request payload.
