AsyncPostFromString response body issue

The AsyncPostFromString function's events will only return the Response body if the HTTP Status Code = 200.

While this probably covers most scenarios, it *should* also return the response body for HTTP Status Code = 201 ("Created"). Currently, it does not. This is actually a pretty big omission since a 201 is a "more correct" response code for certain scenarios.

This one cost me a couple of hours so hopefully it helps someone (and hopefully we can get 201's added for future releases). 😉

    I haven't tried this, but there is an (apparently undocumented) function RetainBodyOnError in ifUrlTransfer. Try calling xfer.RetainBodyOnError(true) before posting your request. Let me know if this works.

    Thanks for the suggestion but it didn't work. It didn't raise an error, I just didn't get the response body. Looks like for now I can only return the 200 status. Can we get the 201 status code added for the next release?
