    // are automatically set by Chilkat.

    // 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".

        // to the file.
