// 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..)
