Title: Backport method askForResponse

Review by @jsuereth.

Adds method askForResponse

Adds method askForResponse which returns a response immediately instead of waiting for a result. That way, one can wait for an ask's result using a timeout.
(cherry picked from commit e896c0ab2d36740207f91086262e9feb4fc1c32d)
