    The `context` argument behaves the same way as in the two simpler programming models. The body of the request will be unconsumed unless the `pb` claim of the [webtask token](https://webtask.io/docs/token) is set to 1. Note that this programming model does not have a concept of a callback. Ending the HTTP response indicates completion.
