Send a Staged REST Request with a Binary Body

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.SendReqBd, which sends a request whose binary body is read from a BinData, then reads the response in separate steps.

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.

-- Important: See this note about string length limitations for strings returned by sp_OAMethod calls.
