Call URL, discard the reply

beginners
#1

Hello,

I want to call an URL but I don´t need to get the reply of the server, I just want it to start a process (that takes more than 2 minutes)

I have tried with ofURLFileLoader, but I get timeout errors (that start the connection again) and if I clear the object before it finishes, then I get an “Expression: deque iterator not dereferencable” on runtime

testApp.h

  
ofURLFileLoader floader;

testApp.cpp

  
int floaderInt = floader.getAsync(theUrl,"stringwhatfor");  
floader.remove(floaderInt);

I remember that I did this before, but now I cannot find the code or something related in the forums

Thanks!

marc

not optimal but could you just hit another url with a smaller script that returns quickly (for OF) but continues to communicate with the target url?

I would think that curl could work for this, you can try the command line program using a system() call or use ofxCurl
