Establishes a connection to a REST API web server.

Note that the REST connector is deprecated from 8.0 R2023-06 onwards. Alternatively, you can use the [HTTP Client](https://help.qlik.com/talend/en-US/connectors-guide/Cloud/httpclient) connector (recommended). If you have previously used the REST connector in an existing pipeline, delete it and replace it with the HTTP Client connector.
