Description
In HTTP Sender if a 202 is received, the code ignores any response body. The particular web service I am accessing I post a JSON body and the service returns a JSON response that contains an ID so that I can check back later for the result of my request. It seems to me that SC_OK and SC_ACCEPTED should be handled the same way.

10.2.3 202 Accepted
The request has been accepted for processing, but the processing has not been completed. The request might or might not eventually be acted upon, as it might be disallowed when processing actually takes place. There is no facility for re-sending a status code from an asynchronous operation such as this.
The 202 response is intentionally non-committal. Its purpose is to allow a server to accept a request for some other process (perhaps a batch-oriented process that is only run once per day) without requiring that the user agent's connection to the server persist until the process is completed. The entity returned with this response SHOULD include an indication of the request's current status and either a pointer to a status monitor or some estimate of when the user can expect the request to be fulfilled.
