waitForResponse Method
Allows the requesting server to suspend execution while waiting for an asynchronous send operation to complete.
oServerXMLHTTPRequest.waitForResponse(timeoutInSeconds);
Parameters
timeoutInSeconds(optional)
Specifies the number of seconds to wait for an asynchronous send operation to complete.
Example
var xmlServerHttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP.6.0");
xmlServerHttp.open("GET", "https://localhost/sample.xml", true);
xmlServerHttp.send();
while (xmlServerHttp.readyState != 4) {
xmlServerHttp.waitForResponse(1000);
}
Parameters
timeoutInSeconds(optional)
Specifies the number of seconds to wait for an asynchronous send operation to complete.
Parameters
timeoutInSeconds [in, optional]
Specifies the number of seconds to wait for an asynchronous send operation to complete.
isSuccessful [out, retval]
The waitForResponse
method is more efficient than polling the readyState
property, which is the only way to wait for an asynchronous send using the XMLHTTP
component. The caller can supply an optional timeout
parameter, specified in seconds. The default timeout (if one is not specified) is INFINITE (-1). The method returns True if a response is received within the time allotted, or False if a timeout occurs. If the method times out, the request is not aborted; the caller can continue to wait for the request in a subsequent call to the waitForResponse
method. Calling waitForResponse
after a synchronous send
method returns immediately and has no useful effect. The async
parameter to the open
method controls whether the send is synchronous (default) or asynchronous. The results of this method are valid only after the send
method has been completed successfully.
C/C++ Return Values
S_OK
The value returned if successful.
Versioning
Implemented in: MSXML 3.0 and MSXML 6.0
