Webhook Task Example

This example is a simple Django HTTP service exposing a single task multiplying two numbers:

The multiply http callback task is in views.py, mapped to a URL using urls.py.

There are no models, so to start it do:

$ python manage.py runserver

To execute the task you could use curl:

$ curl http://localhost:8000/multiply?x=10&y=10

which then gives the expected JSON response:

{"status": "success": "retval": 100}

To execute this http callback task asynchronously you could fire up a python shell with a properly configured celery and do:

>>> from celery.task.http import URL
>>> res = URL("http://localhost:8000/multiply").get_async(x=10, y=10)
>>> res.wait()
100

That's all!
