executeAsync¶

[nonJvm]\ abstract suspend fun executeAsync(): Response

Invokes the request immediately, and blocks until the response can be processed or is in error.

To avoid leaking resources callers should close the Response which in turn will close the underlying ResponseBody.

// ensure the response (and underlying response body) is closed
client.newCall(request).executeAsync().use {
  ...
}

The caller may read the response body with the response’s Response.body method. To avoid leaking resources callers must close the response body or the response.

Note that transport-layer success (receiving a HTTP response code, headers and body) does not necessarily indicate application-layer success: response may still indicate an unhappy HTTP response code like 404 or 500.

Throws¶


okio.IOException	if the request could not be executed due to cancellation, a connectivity problem or timeout. Because networks can fail during an exchange, it is possible that the remote server accepted the request before the failure.
IllegalStateException	when the call has already been executed.
