Use an Existing Socket Connection for REST

Demonstrates Rest.UseConnection, which supplies an already-connected Socket as the transport for REST requests instead of calling Connect. This is useful when the connection must be established with specific socket options or shared across objects.

Background. Rest can operate over any connected socket. The second argument enables automatic reconnection so a dropped connection is transparently re-established between requests.
