Retrieves SourceFiles for specified StorageConnection.

Notes

The Prefer header can be used to specify how much result metadata is desired by the client. The Prefer request header field is used to indicate that particular server behaviors are preferred by the client but are not required for successful completion of the request.

This operation supports "return=representation" and "return=minimal" preferences.

The "return=representation" preference indicates that the client prefers that the server include an entity representing the current state of the resource in the response to a successful request. The "return=minimal" preference indicates that the client wishes the server to return only a minimal response to a successful request. This is the default preference if Prefer header is not specified.
