HttpClient must be implemented through the Rest Client Codeunit

[Arthurvdv]

With the Codeunit "Rest Client" from the System Application I believe it's a best pratice to no longer use the HttpClient object directly and handeling the http-calls through this implementation.

The was a great session on this on the BC TechDays: Http Communication Best Practices.

Example with HttpClient object

procedure GetHttpResponse(url: Text)
var
    HttpClient: HttpClient;
    HttpResponseMessage: HttpResponseMessage;
    ResponseContent: HttpContent;
    ResponseText: Text;
    StatusCode: Integer;
begin
    // Send GET request
    if HttpClient.Get(url, HttpResponseMessage) then begin
        StatusCode := HttpResponseMessage.HttpStatusCode;
        
        // Check if the status code indicates success
        if (StatusCode >= 200) and (StatusCode < 300) then begin
            ResponseContent := HttpResponseMessage.Content;
            
            // Read the response content
            if ResponseContent.ReadAs(ResponseText) then begin
                // Process the response text
                Message('Response: %1', ResponseText);
            end else begin
                Error('Unable to read response content.');
            end;
        end else begin
            Error('Request failed with status code: %1', StatusCode);
        end;
    end else begin
        Error('Unable to send GET request.');
    end;
end;

Example with "Rest Client" codeunit

procedure GetHttpResponse(RequestUri: Text)
var
    RestClient: Codeunit "Rest Client";
    HttpResponseMessage: Codeunit "Http Response Message";
begin
    RestClient.Initialize();
    HttpResponseMessage := RestClient.Get(RequestUri)
end;

I'm unsure of this rule could create false positives, where there are cases where the "Rest Client" codeunit isn't sufficient and the need is there to use the HttpClient object directly?
