<p>Hello all,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I think I solved at least part of my own problem. Looking in more detail at the example Python services, I discovered I was not setting conf["lenv"]["message"] to what I wanted to be output in the status document - I think I'd assumed zoo.update_status
did that from its arguments. So I have got past the Python error which was presumably update_status choking on an uninitialised dictionary key!</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Still puzzling over how I actually use the status service to query the progress of my service. Problem is that the client side of this project may not eventually be using the Zoo Javascript API, so we really need to know how to make calls manually. Can
anyone point me to where this is documented?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Many thanks,</p>
<p><br>
