Re: http-request in a controller- is it possible?

Ahh, that's right; sorry about that. I remember, now.

So I updated the example with the corrected code and calling the endpoint did work; I can see art noting that it's being called.

(get "/test-endpoint" #:mime #t

  (lambda (rc)

    (display "Something here")

    (newline)

    (let ([port (open-socket-for-uri "http://127.0.0.1:3000/other-endpoint")])

      (fcntl port F_SETFL (logior O_NONBLOCK (fcntl port F_GETFD 0)))

      (receive (headers body)

          (http-get "http://127.0.0.1:3000/other-endpoint" #:port port)

        (display "JSON: ")

        (display (utf8->string body))

        (newline)))

    (:mime rc '(("this is the " . "first endpoint we call")))))

And that did work.

Interestingly, another endpoint I was working with with a similar setup (inspiration for the test example) didn't; like, it was able to call the other endpoint it needed to successfully but then the original endpoint never resumes, after making the http-get call.

The only other major difference I can think of is that the endpoint which is called then calls a function in a module in the lib directory and that function is what makes the http-get call to the other endpoint.

I don't want to bog down the mailing list with debugging my custom code but I mention it in case it helps as something to look out for or the like.

Our example here, though, definitely works and I was able to run against it consistently. Thanks (as always) for all the help; it's always super appreciated.

You don't have to call (break-task) here manually, since Ragnarok will
schedule it for you. As I mentioned in previous mails, there should be
client API in Artanis in the future, for now, you have to set the port
to non-blocking by yourself.
