;  When streaming a download to the local filesystem or directed elsewhere,
;  the complete HTTP GET operation must be broken into parts.
;  For example, an HTTP GET consists of sending the request, followed by reading the response header,
;  and then finally the response body.  We'll want to read the response header, and then based
;  on the information received (such as success or failure), either read the response body
;  as an error message, or as the file data.

;  Send the HTTP GET request to download the file.
;  The share is named "pip".
