# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The SynchronousRequest method is deprecated:

# responseObj is a CkHttpResponse

delete_CkHttpResponse $responseObj

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