(Chilkat2-Python) Getting the HTTP Response after an Asynchronous HTTP Request Completes

Some HTTP methods return an HTTP response object. This example demonstrates how to obtain the HTTP response object for such a method when calling asynchronously.

import sys
import chilkat2

# All Chilkat classes can be unlocked at once at the beginning of a program
# by calling UnlockBundle.  It requires a Bundle unlock code.
chilkatGlob = chilkat2.Global()
success = chilkatGlob.UnlockBundle("Anything for 30-day trial.")
if (success != True):
    print(chilkatGlob.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

http = chilkat2.Http()

# Call the async version of the QuickGetObj method to return a task object.
# The task object is loaded, but is in the Inert state -- meaning it is
# not yet scheduled to run on Chilkat's background thread pool.
# task is a CkTask
task = http.QuickGetObjAsync("https://stackexchange.com")
if (http.LastMethodSuccess != True):
    print(http.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# Schedule the task for running on the thread pool.  This changes the task's state
# from Inert to Live.
success = task.Run()
if (success != True):
    print(task.LastErrorText)

    sys.exit()

# The application is now free to do anything else
# while the HTML page is being downloaded.

# For this example, we'll simply sleep and periodically
# check to see if the QuickGetObjAsync if finished.
while task.Finished != True :

    # Sleep 100 ms.
    task.SleepMs(100)

# A finished task could be one that was canceled, aborted, or truly finished.

# If the task was "canceled", it was canceled prior to actually starting.  This could
# happen if the task was canceled while waiting in a thread pool queue to be scheduled by Chilkat's
# background thread pool scheduler.

# If the task was "aborted", it indicates that it was canceled while running in a background thread.
# The ResultErrorText will likely indicate that the task was aborted.

# If the task "completed", then it ran to completion, but the actual success/failure of the method
# is determined by the result obtained via a GetResult* method.  (A "completed" task will
# have a StatusInt equal to 7.   If the task finished, but was not completed, then it must've
# been aborted or canceled:
if (task.StatusInt != 7):
    print("Task did not complete.")
    print("task status: " + task.Status)

    sys.exit()

# The synchronous call to QuickGetObj would return an HTTP response object.  To get this
# response object for the async call, we instantiate a new/empty HTTP response object,
# and then load it from the completed task.
resp = chilkat2.HttpResponse()

success = resp.LoadTaskResult(task)
if (success != True):
    print(resp.LastErrorText)

    sys.exit()

# Now that we have the response, we can get all of the information:

print("status code: " + str(resp.StatusCode))
print("response header: " + resp.Header)
