send_message

Synchronously send msg.

This call will not return until the transfer is finished successfully or there is an unrecoverable error.

Unlike with queue_message, msg is not freed upon return.

(Note that if you call this method on a SessionAsync, it will still use asynchronous I/O internally, running the glib main loop to process the message, which may also cause other events to be processed.)

Contrast this method with send, which also synchronously sends a message, but returns before reading the response body, and allows you to read the response via a InputStream.

Example: Basic soup request, sync:

public static int main (string[] args) {
	// Create a session:
	Soup.Session session = new Soup.Session ();

	// Add a logger:
	Soup.Logger logger = new Soup.Logger (Soup.LoggerLogLevel.MINIMAL, -1);	
	session.add_feature (logger);

	// Send a request:
	Soup.Message msg = new Soup.Message ("GET", "http://gnome.org/");
	session.send_message (msg);

	// Process the result:
		msg.response_headers.foreach ((name, val) => {
				print ("%s = %s\n", name, val);
		});

	print ("Status Code: %u\n", msg.status_code);
	print ("Message length: %lld\n", msg.response_body.length);
		print ("Data: \n%s\n", (string) msg.response_body.data);
	return 0;
}
