(MFC) Cancel HTTP Get Async Task if not Completed after a Max Time

Demonstrates how to wait a maximum amount of time for an asynchronous task to completed. If not completed in the allotted amount of time, the task is cancelled.

    // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    bool success;
    CkHttp http;

    // Set some timeouts, in seconds:
    http.put_ConnectTimeout(15);
    // ReadTimeout specifies the max number of seconds that must elapse when no additional data is received before
    // timing out.  For example, if a server sends a 300 byte response at the rate of 1 byte per second, then
    // ReadTimeout would never cause a timeout because there is never a 15 second interval when nothing arrives.
    http.put_ReadTimeout(15);

    const char *url = "https://your-url.com/something";
    CkTask *task = http.QuickGetStrAsync(url);
    task->Run();

    // Wait a maximum of waitMaxMs for the task (i.e. the HTTP GET) to complete.
    // The Wait method returns when the task has been canceled, aborted, or completed, or when the max allotted time has passed.
    int waitMaxMs = 20000;
    task->Wait(waitMaxMs);

    // At this point, the GET may or may not have completed.  
    // Rather than checking the Task status, we can call task.Cancel because
    // if the Task is no longer running (because it already completed, was canceled or aborted), then the 
    // call to Cancel is a NO-OP (meaning it does nothing and the Task's status is unaffected).
    // Also, task.Cancel returns true if the task was in the "queued" or "running" state and was canceled or aborted. 
    // The method returns false if the task has any other status.
    bool wasCanceled = task->Cancel();
    if (wasCanceled == true) {
