(Visual FoxPro) Cancel HTTP Get Async Task if not Completed after a Max Time

Demonstrates how to wait a maximum amount of time for an asynchronous task to completed. If not completed in the allotted amount of time, the task is cancelled.

* This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
* See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Http')
loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')

* Set some timeouts, in seconds:
loHttp.ConnectTimeout = 15
* ReadTimeout specifies the max number of seconds that must elapse when no additional data is received before
* timing out.  For example, if a server sends a 300 byte response at the rate of 1 byte per second, then
* ReadTimeout would never cause a timeout because there is never a 15 second interval when nothing arrives.
loHttp.ReadTimeout = 15

lcUrl = "https://your-url.com/something"
loTask = loHttp.QuickGetStrAsync(lcUrl)
loTask.Run()

* Wait a maximum of waitMaxMs for the task (i.e. the HTTP GET) to complete.
* The Wait method returns when the task has been canceled, aborted, or completed, or when the max allotted time has passed.
lnWaitMaxMs = 20000
loTask.Wait(lnWaitMaxMs)

* At this point, the GET may or may not have completed.  
* Rather than checking the Task status, we can call task.Cancel because
* if the Task is no longer running (because it already completed, was canceled or aborted), then the 
* call to Cancel is a NO-OP (meaning it does nothing and the Task's status is unaffected).
* Also, task.Cancel returns 1 if the task was in the "queued" or "running" state and was canceled or aborted. 
* The method returns 0 if the task has any other status.
lnWasCanceled = loTask.Cancel()
IF (lnWasCanceled = 1) THEN
    ? "The HTTP GET took too long and was canceled."
ELSE
    * Find out what happened.
    IF (loTask.StatusInt = 7) THEN
        * The task completed, which means the background thread's call to QuickGetStr completed
        * with success or failure.  Find out which...
        IF (loTask.TaskSuccess = 1) THEN
            * Get the string response for the call to QuickGetStr (which happened in Chilkat's background thread).
            lcResponseStr = loTask.GetResultString()
            ? lcResponseStr
            ? "HTTP GET successful!"
        ELSE
            ? "HTTP GET failed prior to waitMaxMs..."
            ? loTask.ResultErrorText
        ENDIF

    ELSE
        * The task must've been canceled or aborted by some other means..
        ? "Task did not complete.  Final status: " + loTask.Status
