I have been trying unsuccessfully to set up a Task to attempt a post request. I am able to retrieve a JSON response from the server with a 200 response. I then assign the return value to a contentNode.
UrlTransfer works successfully and I am able to print out the response in full and parse into a ContentNode
Function http_post_from_string_with_timeout(val As String, seconds as Integer) as String
timeout% = 1000 * seconds
str = ""
m.Http.EnableFreshConnection(true) 'Don't reuse existing connections
print "url string" + val
if (m.Http.AsyncPostFromString(val))
event = wait(timeout%, m.Http.GetPort())
if type(event) = "roUrlEvent"
url_status = "Communication Response Code: " + str(event.GetResponseCode())
print "url_status " + url_status
print "event.GetFailureReason() " + event.GetFailureReason()
print "event.getString()" + event.GetString()
print "GetResponseHeaders " event.GetResponseHeaders()
if ( event.GetResponseCode() <> 200 ) then
else 'its a good response
str = event.GetString()
end if
elseif event = invalid
print "2"
m.Http.AsyncCancel()
else
print "3"
endif
endif
return str
End Function
I have set up observers in the main group to watch for the task to complete. The session function never fires and the state only returns an "INIT", never "DONE"
m.connection.observeField("content", "sessionLookup")
m.connection.observeField("state", "stateLookup")
m.connection.functionName = "getContent"
m.connection.control = "RUN"What could be preventing the observers from never completing or triggering? Has anyone have any ideas why the Task is not allowing to proceed? I am at a standstill and don't know want else to try... Any help would be appreciated.
I am using these helper functions for url transfers :
