WCF / ASMX :: Connecting To Web Service Via Http Post?
Jul 22, 2010
My web service uses .Net Framework 2.0. An e-learning application reads and updates an Access database in the web service via Http Post commands. I test the e-learning application and the web service using the version of IIS 7 that came with Windows Vista. I run IIS using localhost in my browser.
All works well. But a friend is having trouble running the same test with my files on her IIS 6 server. So I'm developing a checklist of issues in setting up an IIS 6 server to run a web service. I plan to include all possible causes of problems including permissions, accounts that are needed, etc. Are there resources to which I can go for this checklist?
have a web service that I'm trying to consume from a console app through http post. I receive a 500 exception error from the xmlstring parm being passed to the web service. Add the following to web.config of the web service. Although it is not working in debug in vs 2008 as well.
[Code]....
[Code]....
[Code]....
the host file is setup for the web service as well.
we need to expose a web service to the 3rd party vendor which can only call using POST protocol, NOT SOAP.So my question, is it better to build a web service or just simply .aspx page?Also is there any best practice documentation on this.
I'm trying to upload a file to an ASP 2.0 web service through HTTP 1.1 POST from a client-side application. If my web service function is declared as
<WebMethod()> Public Function UploadFile(ByVal file as Byte(), ByVal fileName as String) as String ...
The test form says the request should take this form:
POST address_of_service HTTP/1.1 Host: <host> Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-Length: length file=string&file=string&fileName=string
How do I get my binary file data into that form? I've tried just converting the file data to a string and putting it in the body (file=<string_data_here>) but I get HTTP 500 errors back, complaining about not being able to convert it to System.Byte. I've got HTTP POST working fine elsewhere in my application with plain string parameters. Also, out of curiosity, why is it showing the file parameter twice?
I am currently writing a C# web service which has several methods, one of which has to receive HTTP POST requests. The first thing i have done is alter the web.config file in the web service project as below.
[code]....
But when i run this i get "The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error". If i remove the parameter, by removing the stringbuilder and byte code, as well as having no parameter in the web service, it works. So it is obviously a problem with the parameters. I actually want to send more data, and was using a string[] parameter in the web service, but this also failed.
I am after a tool that allows me to catch HTTP traffic on my local machine that is generated through web service calls. I have tried Fiddler, but it doesn't seem to catch my web services that are sent via...
[Code]....
Maybe fiddler can be set up to allow this, I am not sure :-s If anyone knows, can you explain, or if anyone has used a tool on their local machine that can catch HTTP request/responses from the above code?
I am trying to call webservice from my web application. The web application had integrated windows authentication. I've written custome principal class to do authorization. But when I give call to my web service with default credentials it gives me 'the request failed with http status 401 unauthorized.' error.
When I give call to my local webservice it is running fine (It also has integrated windows authentication) But when I add reference of same web service from QA server I am getting this error. Not sure what is happening. I also tried
I can't seem to call a web service method from Ajax with both POST and GET.
Initially only the POST would work and GET would causes this error:
{"Message":"An attempt was made to call the method u0027getDatau0027 using a GET request, which is not allowed.","StackTrace":" at System.Web.Script.Services.RestHandler.GetRawParams(WebServiceMethodData methodData, HttpContext context)at System.Web.Script.Services.RestHandler.ExecuteWebServiceCall(HttpContext context, WebServiceMethodData methodData)","ExceptionType":"System.InvalidOperationException"}
I fixed that by adding this attribute: [ScriptMethod(UseHttpGet=true)] but now GET causes this error:
[code]....
So is it true that you can only use either POST or GET and not both from Ajax?
we have a situation where we need to host two certificates on the same server and because we can't have two different certificates on the same server running off the same port we have assigned one certificate run through another port, which is 4443.
So the URL to our web app is now....
[URL]
If I punch this into a web browser I can access it fine, however, if I create a web reference using this URL in Visual Studio (2005) it can create the web reference fine and it builds ok. But whenever I call a web method on this service instance I get a HTTP 404 page not found Exception.
Is there any properties I need to set on the web service object to get this to work? I'm confused as to why it's not working.
I am trying to post data from vb.net application to web service asmx that is located on server! For posting data from vb.net application I am using this code:
Public Function Post(ByVal url As String, ByVal data As String) As String Dim vystup As String = Nothing Try 'Our postvars Dim buffer As Byte() = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(data) 'Initialisation, we use localhost, change if appliable Dim WebReq As HttpWebRequest = DirectCast(WebRequest.Create(url), HttpWebRequest) 'Our method is post, otherwise the buffer (postvars) would be useless WebReq.Method = "POST" 'We use form contentType, for the postvars. WebReq.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" 'The length of the buffer (postvars) is used as contentlength. WebReq.ContentLength = buffer.Length 'We open a stream for writing the postvars Dim PostData As Stream = WebReq.GetRequestStream() 'Now we write, and afterwards, we close. Closing is always important! PostData.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length) PostData.Close() 'Get the response handle, we have no true response yet! Dim WebResp As HttpWebResponse = DirectCast(WebReq.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse) 'Let's show some information about the response Console.WriteLine(WebResp.StatusCode) Console.WriteLine(WebResp.Server) 'Now, we read the response (the string), and output it. Dim Answer As Stream = WebResp.GetResponseStream() Dim _Answer As New StreamReader(Answer) 'Congratulations, you just requested your first POST page, you 'can now start logging into most login forms, with your application 'Or other examples. vystup = _Answer.ReadToEnd() Catch ex As Exception MessageBox.Show(ex.Message) End Try Return vystup.Trim() & vbLf End Function
3) Finally adding the reference of service contract project in a Hosting project (Console Application) with complete configurations.
I am adding one more windows app project as a client.When i am trying to add the service reference using the address "http://localhost:8000/Tasks", VS 2008 displays the below error.
There was an error downloading 'http://localhost:8000/Tasks'.
Unable to connect to the remote server
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:8000
Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'http://localhost:8000/Tasks'.
Could not connect to http://localhost:8000/Tasks. TCP error code 10061: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:8000.
Unable to connect to the remote server
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:8000
If the service is defined in the current solution, try building the solution and adding the service reference again.
I am new to WCF, I was using web service asmx before. I have trouble on making my wcf JSON ajax service work through http like asmx.Could you help me see what wrong in my code?My WCF services are defined in my website application folder. My aim is to call this service in my aspx page java-script code and return complex object back as JSON to my javascript. I have no problem on doing this through classic asmx web service.
When I try to test it through my browser by type this in the URL , URL-http://localhost:3849/WebServices/Account/WCFCompanyService.svc/GetAll. it return "Method not allowed."
But if I type just this URL-http://localhost:3849/WebServices/Account/WCFCompanyService.svc, it return this:
WCFCompanyService Service
You have created a service.To test this service, you will need to create a client and use it to call the service. You can do this using the svcutil.exe tool from the command line with the following syntax:
This will generate a configuration file and a code file that contains the client class. Add the two files to your client application and use the generated client class to call the Service. For example:
C#
class Test { static void Main() { HelloClient client = new HelloClient();
I have a webservice which works 100% fine on my developer machine. Where Web Service is installed on LOCALHOST on my developer machine,Then i went to my servers, I installed webservice on one server and map it with the server where the website is hosted, Then i tried accessing this service using BROWSER from my web server, it worked fine, That means the mapping was done perfect.Then i run my program on web server (website). It worked fine on page1, then on page2, but when i did the same and call same function on page3, It popped me any error of
when i am adding service reference the Following erro shows Up..where as the same works on the Other machine. The url when tested in Internet explorer works but only while adding shows the error. The request failed with HTTP status 403: Forbidden. The HTTP request was forbidden with client authentication scheme 'Anonymous'.
I had written a code to use webservice using scriptmanager... Everthing works fine with (IE -8,7 in xp and win server -2003) but in Win server 2008 IE -8 Javascript is not invoking the web method.
I have a WCF service hosted on win 2008 server. I'm using WAS to expose a named pipe endpoint on the service and have a client website that consumes the service. When i hit the website from a remote machine i get the following error:The pipe name could not be obtained for the pipe URI: Access is denied. (5, 0x5)Now if i hit the website ON THE SERVER it's being hosted from, using localhost in the url, it works fine. Clearly there is something i don't understand about what the named pipe endpoint is looking for. I tried running a trace from my service, but there is no output because the call doesn't even get to the service.
I am trying to retrieve some values from a Database built in SQL Server Express 2008 using .net Web Service.
[Code]...
Whenever i click run in Visual Studio 2008, it shows the startup page in IE that has two Methods (HelloWorld and authorizePassenger). When i click my method authorizePassenger it gets invoked and it asks me for input but when i input and click invoke IE shows HTTP500 error. The code above working fine in Standalone VB.net Application, so i guess i m doing the coding of Database correctly.
I have a web service in which i am making connection to the database to get data..now i want that the app pool account should be used to make the connection and not the current user's credentials..can somebody tell me step by step what changes do i need to make like setting impersonation=true etc.
if i have the web application with many pages like add order page, edit order page, and delete order page actually they also interact with the Sql Server 2008 and i also create web service page call Sales_Service.asmx. i know just i need to put something like query into Web Method in Sales_Service.asmx but i have a lot of queries, i don't know which query i should put into it and how the web page call the Sales_Services.asmx
A customer reported that our asmx web service is continually increasing in memory (mem usage as well as private bytes). We are able to reproduce the problem in our lab with Windows 2003 Server SP2 (fully patched) on some of the machines. The customer is using Windows 2008.
We created a Hello World web service targeting the 2.0 framework built under VS2005 SP1 and a test client that continues to call it. The memory increases steadily - approximately 40K per client request. If the test app is paused, the memory remains the same. When it is closed, the memory drops. Explicit calling of GC.Collect does not drop the memory.
We have run the memory profiler on the service and the leak is all native memory. We have uninstalled/re-installed the Framework on one of the machines but no difference. To our knowledge all of the security and IIS settings are not modified. We have compared app pool, default web site and virtual directory properties to machines that have no problem and they are identical.
I have a .net app developed in .net 4.0 version. And I implemented an asmx web service in this. Now I want to call one of the webservice method in another classis ASP application java script function.
