Request message fields:

                                 Always present if 'noaccess' is set. This is supplied so the client does not have

                                 to issue an extra 'getChallenge' request.

}}}

----

=== setAsync ===

Switch the session into asynchronous mode.

When a session is in this mode the client will get continuous updates from the server about channels and tags.

This also includes creation and deletion of channels and tags. 

An interactive application that presents the user with information about channels and tags would probably want to switch to this mode.

subscriptionId   int  required   Subscription ID. Selected by client. This value is not interpreted by the server in any form.
