# responseObj is a CkHttpResponse
set responseObj [CkHttp_PFile $http $verb $url $localFilePath $contentType 0 0]

delete_CkHttpResponse $responseObj

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Do the equivalent using HttpFile.
# Your application creates a new, empty HttpResponse object which is passed 
# in the last argument and filled upon success.
