' Note: Because of TLS message lengths, or the possibility of the response being either compressed (gzip/deflate) or in the HTTP chunked encoding,
' the amount of data received in each call can be greater than the specified min size.
' Chilkat will return from the call as soon as it has received an amount equal to or more than the specified size,
' except for the very last chunk, which can be less that the min size or even 0 bytes.
' The status will be one of three values:
' -1 = error
' 0 = received the last chunk of the response.
' 1 = received a chunk, and more chunks are coming..
' The received data is *appended* to the contents of the BinData object.
