Most of the code in the CDATA block will be inserted in a class during compilation so you can write whatever is allowed in a class block (declarations and function definitions). The assignments are hence not allowed there, they must live in a function. In your case, you should do the assignments in the result handler of the HTTPService anyway.
Hope this helps!
