(CkPython) Azure Service Bus - Peek-Lock Message (Non-Destructive Read)

See more Azure Service Bus Examples

Shows how to atomically retrieve and lock a message from a queue or subscription for processing. The message is guaranteed not to be delivered to other receivers (on the same queue or subscription only) during the lock duration specified in the queue/subscription description.

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

# Make the initial connection.
# A single REST object, once connected, can be used for many Azure Service Bus REST API calls.
# The auto-reconnect indicates that if the already-established HTTPS connection is closed,
# then it will be automatically re-established as needed.

# The code above this comment could be placed inside a function/subroutine within the application

# This example will use the sbPath..

# Add a timeout parameter.

# Use the POST HTTP verb to peek-lock the message.
# Note that the only difference between the destructive Read-and-Delete and the non-destructive Peek-Lock
# is that the HTTP verb.  (POST is for peek-lock, DELETE is fore read-and-delete.)

# The content of the message is returned in the HTTP response body.
# The HTTP response headers contains extra information.  For example:
jsonBrokerProps = chilkat.CkJsonObject()

# An example of the BrokerProperties JSON that is returned:

# 	  "EnqueuedTimeUtc": "Wed, 07 Dec 2016 17:42:48 GMT",
# 	  "Label": "M2",
# 	  "LockToken": "0a13ee8a-be32-4458-89e0-5e1401caa6a0",

# 	  "SequenceNumber": 3,
# 	  "State": "Active",
# 	  "TimeToLive": 922337203685.47754
# 	}

# Also the "Location" response header contains the URI of the locked message.
# This can be used to ulock or delete the message.
print("Location: " + rest.responseHdrByName("Location"))

# An example of the Location URI:
# https://chilkat.servicebus.windows.net/gilamonster/subscriptions/feedings/messages/3/0a13ee8a-be32-4458-89e0-5e1401caa6a0

# If successful, the message is the contents of the response body.
