Use an Existing Socket Connection for REST

See more REST Examples

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.

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