​
Remarks

First create an HTTP handle using XblHttpCallCreate(). Then call XblHttpCallRequestSet*() to prepare the XblHttpCallHandle. Then call XblHttpCallPerformAsync() to perform HTTP call using the XblHttpCallHandle. This call is asynchronous, so the work will be done on a background thread and will return via the callback. The perform call is asynchronous, so the work will be done on a background thread which calls XTaskQueueDispatch(…, XTaskQueuePort::Work). The results will return to the callback on the thread that calls XTaskQueueDispatch(…, XTaskQueuePort::Completion), then get the result of the HTTP call by calling XblHttpCallResponseGet*() to get the HTTP response of the XblHttpCallHandle. When the XblHttpCallHandle is no longer needed, call XblHttpCallCloseHandle to free the memory associated with the XblHttpCallHandle.
