B4J Question Using Wait For for 2 different events

[lancaster]

I need to trap both HTTP POST 'success' and 'error' conditions within a single sub...

I'm currently using OkHttp to POST API calls to a service and I have 2 Wait For statements as follows:

Wait For postRequest_ResponseError ( ....)
(some code)

Wait For postRequest_ResponseSuccess ( ...)
(some code)

As these events are mutually exclusive it appears I only resume after the first one. If the job is successful, control is never returned to my sub.

Is is possible to wait for one of two mutually exclusive events like this?

Thanks for any help.

Sounds like an mistake to use the httpclient directly.

Use okhttputils2 and check the job result. If it return successful or not can be checked with one wait for.

Hi Manfred,

Thanks.

I did look at using the okHttpUtils library but I need to use okHttpClient.InitializeAcceptAll to handle HTTPS certificate issues and that doesn't exist in the replacement libraries.

Hence that why I'm still using OkHttpClient.

download the okhttputils source modules, change hc.initialize to hc.initializeall and use the sourcemodules instead of the library when you work with okhttputils.

This is the correct solution. No reason to use OkHttpClient directly.

and it's an excellent solution thanks. Has simplified the code significantly and once you also deal with headers and cookies 'after' the HttpJob.PostString call (which seemed a little illogical until it worked) ...

Thanks.
