  Provides a simple HTTP-like interface to send and receive resources from a REST
  service.

  response when the data is retrieved from the service. RequestMessage contains the HTTP
  request to the REST resource identified by RequestMessage.Request.Url. The
  ResponseMessage is the returned HTTP response for that request, including any HTTP
  status.
