AckRequest Method

Optional. Acknowledges the incoming request.

Syntax

as2receiver.ackRequest([callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

When called from within a server environment, AckRequest will acknowledge the client request with a 200 OK. This may be useful if the client has posted a lot of data, and has requested an asynchronous receipt.

If an acknowledgement is not expected (i.e., the client is expecting an MDN in the response), then invoking this method will do nothing. Servers may safely call this method immediately after ParseRequest for both synchronous and asynchronous MDN requests.
