//  accepts or denies authorization, the browser receives the response and redirects to localhost:<port>,
//  where Chilkat is waiting on a background thread to receive the redirect, process it, and then send the HTTP request
//  to exchange the code for a token.  This happens internally while your code below is waiting for the authorization..)
