nativescript-background-http get response body - nativescript

Question

I am currently using nativescript-background-http to upload images and I was just wondering is there a way to get the response body or response header coming from the server after sending the image?

Answer 1

Just in case someone has the same problem a year later:
task.on("responded", (e) => {
JSON.parse(e.data)
}

Answer 2

The way I was able to get the response back from the server was in the complete method use the getBodyAsString() method and parse it.
task.on("complete", (ev: any) => {
console.log("Upload complete");
let sr = JSON.parse(ev.response.getBodyAsString());
});

Answer 3

function sendImages(uri, fileUri) {
imageName = extractImageName(fileUri);
var request = {
url: "http://httpbin.org/post",
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/octet-stream",
"File-Name": imageName
},
description: "{ 'uploading': " + imageName + " }"
};
var task = session.uploadFile(fileUri, request);
task.on("progress", logEvent);
task.on("error", logEvent);
task.on("complete", logEvent);
function logEvent(e) {
console.log("----------------");
console.log('Status: ' + e.eventName);
// console.log(e.object);
if (e.totalBytes !== undefined) {
console.log('current bytes transfered: ' + e.currentBytes);
console.log('Total bytes to transfer: ' + e.totalBytes);
}
}
return task;
}
