Passing a function to a Thread object as target is one way of running code in a thread; a more flexible and powerful approach is to subclass Thread and override its run() method with the code you want to execute. We're going to take this approach with our corporate REST upload function.

self.upload_url = upload_url
self.auth_url = auth_url
self.username = username
self.password = password
super().__init__()
The __init__() method takes the same arguments that upload_to_corporate_rest() took and ...
