130 CALLBACK is called when the object has been completely retrieved, with
131 the current buffer containing the object, and any MIME headers associated
132 with it. It is called as (apply CALLBACK STATUS CBARGS).
133 STATUS is a list with an even number of elements representing
134 what happened during the request, with most recent events first,
135 or an empty list if no events have occurred. Each pair is one of:
137 \(:redirect REDIRECTED-TO) - the request was redirected to this URL

139 signaled with (signal ERROR-SYMBOL DATA).
