    text
    copied!<p>I'm using a .Net MVC application as a simplified web service.</p> <p>I've got an async method that I call:</p> <pre><code>public void RunQueue() { QueueDelegate queue = new QueueDelegate(Queue); AsyncCallback completedCallback = new AsyncCallback(QueueCompleteCallback); lock (_sync) { if (!queueIsRunning) { AsyncOperation async = AsyncOperationManager.CreateOperation(null); queue.BeginInvoke(QueueCompleteCallback, async); queueIsRunning = true; } } } </code></pre> <p>and the hope is that when I call it, it starts the queue and then lets the user continue on with their day (they'll get an email when the queue's done).</p> <p>As it stands right now, everything works fine except that instead of letting the user continue on, the webpage calling the "web service" just hangs and the request eventually times out.</p> <p>How do I build an HttpWebResponse and send it back to the other server so that the user can continue on?</p> <p>I've tried having it return things other than "void" but that doesn't do much.</p> <p>Here's the Controller that's calling it.</p> <pre><code>public ActionResult StartQueue() { HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://localhost:2394/Home/RunQueue/"); HttpWebResponse response; string r = ""; try { response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse(); Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream(); StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream); r = reader.ReadToEnd(); } catch (WebException ex) // A WebException is not fatal. Record the status code. { response = (HttpWebResponse)ex.Response; if (response != null) // timeout { r = response.StatusCode.ToString(); } } ViewData["message"] = r; return View(); } </code></pre>
