Hi,

I was playing around with the getHTTP() static method from com.philips.HttpLibrary.
The method allows to specify a callback function that is applied to the data returned by the HTTP request.

I'm looking for a way to pass through the return value of the callback function so it becomes the return value if the getHTTP() call.

I imagine something like:

button.label = getHTTP("theURL", function(data) { return data.match("/\d{1,2}/"); });

Of course, I could use a variable to store the result of data.match(), but that seems so inefficient.
Is there really no other way?

Ok, I just found out that the getHTTP() method is processed asynchronously and returns before any server data has been received.
So it won't work how I imagined it.
