The urlresponse has been around for a number of years. It was added so that
you can get the response sent back from the server for url calls. It
doesn’t affect how it behaves in any way. Prior to adding the urlresponse
one couldn’t get the server response for PUT … into URL tURL or DELETE URL
tURL calls. It’s been so long I don’t recall the exact reasons why ‘it’
wasn’t used but I much prefer reading ’the urlresopnse’ in my code than
dealing with ‘it’ which is meaningless until put into another variable.
