B4J Question HTTPJob JobDone not called for empty response body

[jmon]

Hello,

I'm working on a project that requires Google Calendar API. I manage to get a response from the POST and GET methods, but I don't from the DELETE method.

As you can see from this page : https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/v3/reference/calendars/delete

Response
If successful, this method returns an empty response body.

delete returns an empty response. I don't get any feedback from my call, the JobDone event is never called.

My code is this:

Dim job As HttpJob
job.Initialize("CalendarDelete", Me)
job.Tag = Tag
job.Delete("https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/" & su.EncodeUrl(CalendarId, "UTF8") _
        & "?access_token=" & oAuthAccessToken)

Is there a way to get the feedback?

Thanks for your help.
Jmon.

You will need to modify HttpUtils2 source code with a small change.

Change hc_ResponseSuccess to:

Sub hc_ResponseSuccess (Response As HttpResponse, TaskId As Int)
   If Response.ContentLength = 0 Then
     CompleteJob(TaskId, True, "")
   Else
     Response.GetAsynchronously("response", File.OpenOutput(TempFolder, TaskId, False), _
       True, TaskId)
   End If
End Sub

Thank you,

How to I do that? I opened the jar with 7z, and read the httpjob.class file but It looks obfuscated or something like that:


Thank you

Ok, sorry I found it https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/jhttputils2-source-code.39415/#content

Thank a lot

So I've edited and compiled the code, I get an error:

Thank you

This means that the web service didn't return the content length header.

You can use this line to get the HttpJob:

Dim job As HttpJob = TaskIdToJob.Get(TaskId)

When you send a DELETE request set HttpJob.Tag to Delete. Now you can check the tag value in the ResponseSuccess sub and if it is Delete then call CompleteJob.

 

[jmon]

Thank you very much, it worked

 

[Erel]

Make sure to call Response.Release (was missing in my code snippets above).

 

[jmon]

hum... it gives me an error if I release the Response:

In the original HttpUtils2, the response was not released.

 

[Erel]

HttpUtils2 releases all responses (in the original code).

Anyway, it seems like you don't need to call Release in this case. Try the following test:
- Send 10 DELETE requests and see whether they all complete. If only 5 complete then there is a leak.
