(AutoIt) HttpPostJson2Async Example

Demonstrates use of the HttpPostJson2Async method.

; Sends a POST equivalent to the following CURL command:

; curl -X POST https://sandbox.plaid.com/institutions/get \
;   -H 'content-type: application/json' \
;   -d '{
;     "client_id": String,
;     "secret":String,

; while the HTTP POST is in progress

; For this example, we'll simply sleep and periodically
; check to see if the HTTP POST is finished.  
While $oTask.Finished <> True
    ; Sleep 100 ms.
    $oTask.SleepMs 100
Wend

; When we get here, the task is either finished successfully or not, or was canceled/aborted.

; If the task was "canceled", it was canceled prior to actually starting.  This could
; happen if the task was canceled while waiting in a thread pool queue to be scheduled by Chilkat's
; background thread pool scheduler.  

; If the task was "aborted", it indicates that it was canceled while running in a background thread.  
; The ResultErrorText will likely indicate that the task was aborted.

; If the task "completed", then it ran to completion, but the actual success/failure of the method
; is determined by getting the result of the underlying method call.
; A task status of 7 indicates completion.

; unless the method failed and there was no response to be had.
