Hi,

 

I'm implementing a plugin which posts data to an HTTPS url when the user moves from one service to another. The problem is that enigma2 displays the spinner and the zap action takes 2 or 3 seconds to finishes.

 

My implementation is as follow:

Current service -> Zap -> Call function sending HTTP post request ->New Service

 

Is there any thread like mechanism where the called function is executed in parallel with the zap action as follows:

 

Current service->Zap->New service

                             |

                              ----->Call function sending HTTP post request

 

Thanks for your help.

I tried to run the HTTP post request within a function called through a Timer but I get the same behavior where the spinner appears when I move from one service to another. Is there any mechanism to perform the HTTP request in an asynchronous manner ???

Maybe you cn create a new thread and make the request in the new thread?

Read the Python twisted documentation. That's the framework Enigma2 is running on. The request will run asynchronous and you'll get callback when it's done. No threading required.

May do request through twisted web so the service moves to next without waiting for the response

from twisted.web import client
webfile="http://..."
localfile="/tmp/test"
client.downloadPage(webfile,localfile).addCallback(downloadback).addErrback(downloaderror)
				
def downloadback(,data):
        
        if data:
            print data
def downloaderror(error):
                       
                      if error:
                          print error

Thanks mfaraj57!

 

Do you have any example using a POST HTTPS request with digest authentication??

Maybe you cn create a new thread and make the request in the new thread?

 

It works well thanks!
