I am experimenting with several of GAE's features.
I 've built a Dynamic Backend but I am having several issues getting this thing to work without task queues
Backend code:
class StartHandler(webapp2.RequestHandler):
def get(self):
#... do stuff...
if __name__ == '__main__':
_handlers = [(r'/_ah/start', StartHandler)]
run_wsgi_app(webapp2.WSGIApplication(_handlers))
The Backend is dynamic. So whenever it receives a call it does it's stuff and then stops.
Everything is worikng fine when I use inside my handlers:
url = backends.get_url('worker') + '/_ah/start'
urlfetch.fetch(url)
But I want this call to be async due to the reason that the Backend might take up to 10 minutes to finish it's work.
So I changed the above code to:
url = backends.get_url('worker') + '/_ah/start'
rpc = urlfetch.create_rpc()
urlfetch.make_fetch_call(rpc, url)
But then the Backend does not start. I am not interested into completion of the request or getting any data out of it.
What am I missing - implementing wrong?
Thank you all
