Returns a ResultContainer capsuling a optional String error message and a collection of parsed string values.

This method uses its parameters to query a REST/Web endpoint to receive a MimeType response, which then gets parsed with a supported Path expression to extract a collection of string values.

Parameters:

restEndpoint - A http/https web address to the REST/Web endpoint

credentials - The credentials required to access said endpoint

mimeType - The MIME type of the expected REST/Web response

expression - The Json-Path or xPath expression to filter the values

filter - additional regex filter on any parsed values

Returns:

A ResultContainer that capsules either the desired values or a user friendly error message.
