# Twinfield requires that the request to exchange the authorization code for a token must be a GET.
# (In most cases, OAuth2 is implemented where the exchange for token HTTP request is a POST.)
# Note: The exchange-for-token happens within Chilkat in a background thread.  After the user interactively 
# 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..)
