C# - Using HttpWebRequest To POST To A Form On An Outside Server?
Jan 26, 2010
I am trying to simulate a POST to a form on an external server that does not require any authentication, and capture a sting containing the resulting page. This is what the form looks like:
I am attempting to call a RESTful service using an HttpWebRequest object via POST. I am attempting to pass 1 variable with the Request body which contains a url encoded string. I see the request when it hits the server; however, it shows 2 form variables. The first is Form[null] and the second is my variable.I am attempting to locate the source of this NULL key; however, I cannot. Any ideas on how I may be able to remedy this since it's throwing issues when I attempt to use it with the Nancy web framework for .Net.
Code:
var request = WebRequest.Create("http://localhost:8888/RouteName") as HttpWebRequest; request.Method = "POST"; request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";[code]...
I have an application that will upload files from my client to a web server using HttpWebRequest (with the function suggested here: [URL]
My problem is that when the file (about 10 mb in size) is being posted the whole application freezes (e.g. "application is not responding" when I try to move the window).
Do I need to put the uploading in a separate thread, or is there any other simple way solve this?
I'm getting the "The underlying connection was closed: The connection was closed unexpectedly." error while trying to POST using the HttpWebRequest class on the production server, on my dev machine it works fine.
I originally tried using the WebClient class but I switched to the HttpWebRequest to try some of the suggestions I found while researching the issue (such as setting KeepAlive to false, PreAuthenticate true and ProtocolVersion to 1.0).
Since it's only happening on the production server, i'm guessing that it might have something to do with IIS.
Here's my code
[Code]....
If set the Target Framework (I used a new project for testing) to 2.0 (I didn't test every version of the framework) it works. I'm guessing that .net handles the security differently in .net 4.0.
I'm trying to ping Google when my web site's sitemap is updated but I need to know which status code does Google or any other service returns. My code is below:
I have a php website with a login page containing username and password fields with the same exact html names. I would like to have a page in my ASP.NET page with a username and a password textbox field that sends the corresponding credentials to the php website using HttpWebRequest. How would I do that and how could I check the response to see if the authentication has been successful?
Is there a way to force a non-secure form post to be secure? I understand there are ways to automatically resolve an http URL as an https URL but with form posts, is this type of redirection too late? Will the posted data have already gone through the wire as plain text?
Currently whenever I need to send a request to a payment-gateway, for example, I redirect my page to another page on my website which has a form with several hidden fields. I then pre-populate the values of these fields server-side, and specify in the body tag something like 'onload="form.submit();"'
However, I'm wondering, rather than redirecting to this page, is there anyway that all this data can be collected and POSTed to the payment-gateway server-side?This will cut out the need to redirect the user to this blank page, and make everything a bit more tidy.
I am trying to use HTTPWebRequest to login to a site and then retrieve the page after login. However, it seems as if I can't get past the login. I also investigated with Fiddler and tried mimicking Fiddler almost completely and still no luck.
and Write() throws an exception with "Unable to write data to the transport connection: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine." text. I used System.Net tracing and found that something goes wrong when I send the request with Content-Length set.
Specifically if I omit everything that is inside using statement in the code above the server promptly replies with WWW-Authenticate and then the client reposts the request with WWW-Authenticate and everything goes fine except the file in not uploaded and the request fails much later.
I'd like to do the following: send an request without data, wait for WWW-Authenticate, then repeat it with WWW-Authenticate and data. So I tried to modify the code above: first set all the parameters, then call GetResponse(), then do sending, but when I try to set ContentLength property an exception is thrown with "This property cannot be set after writing has started" text. So HttpWebRequest seems to be non-reusable.
How do I reuse it for resending the request without closing the connection?
I have created a server product that is connecting to some social network servers and sending to data which status update etc. The server already authenticated to necessary social networks servers by users who is using this solution.
Actually, I have no problem at this time, but I think I will.
My server will be open a thousands of concurrent request to neccessary servers via Http with C# HttpWebRequest instance. I already know that It's possible to change concurrent request limits with below propery.
ServicePointManager.DefaultConnectionLimit AFAIK, this limit is max 100 evet you set more than 100. So, I will be faced with bottleneck problem with HttpWebRequest even change the DefaultConnectionLimit property of ServicePointManager.
I'm trying to post a value to an external site and have managed to piece it together using HttpWebRequest. My problem is that this behaves like a server.transfer. ie it maintains the url. As a result the page I'm posting to doesn't link to any of it's images or stylesheet. Can anyone give me a simple way to do an old style post to an external site?
I need to delete all the item what I seleted or I Checked.so I collect all the ID I selected .
then what should I do next?I could not find a submit button to send them,they are not in a from.So I try to collect them to a JSON object and then use AJAX to send them to server.
We have a website that processing products from various web shops! Users of these web shops can send products for our site what will store these products in our database. Users are sending in products through the post method of the form, and within the form the data is in hidden imput fields! Our site using UTF-8 charset, and this service is working like a charm together with other pages that has utf8 chaset too. The problem comes when someone using our service from a site that has other charset then utf8, for example: iso-8859-2.This case the special hungarian characters, like "íéáűőúöüó" are replaced with a '�' character!We have tried to convert the incoming string on server side but that case the '�' has been replaced by '?'. - still not acceptable :)
Why is it not possible to post my form from an iframe? The form in the iframe is the same as the form outside the iframe. I have put in the EnvableEvent Validation="true". It is not working.
Using Facebox with .NET (Web Forms) is painful--this primarily HTML site was designed by someone else. I may have IIS (7.5) issues as well. This Facebox pop-up is in a separate file, login.html, that is called from index.html:
and after it's validated (this is working), it posts to login.aspx (login.html):
[code]....
The form posts. I can debug it in Visual Studio in the Page_Load method of login.aspx. The last line of the Page_Load method is:
Response.Redirect("welcomepage.html");
But, the Facebox pop-up remains. Firebug shows the post, It hits the Page_Load method of login.aspx, and the Facebox pop-up doesn't go anywhere. BUT, Firebug shows welcomepage.html rendered twice in the Response tab of the XHR (huh? why XHR?) request. I thought $.post did a regular postback. And why isn't my browser actually redirecting.
Attempted Fix
If I change the form in login.html to action='login.aspx', I get a 405.0 error method not allowed (but, it's trying to post to index.html, HUH?). And I can't figure out how to fix this in IIS 7.5 on Windows 7. I get this error in Visual Studio and when deploying locally to IIS. I had read it may have to do with script mapping, handlers, or the fact that I'm posting from an but I can't find a sufficient fix.
I am trying out ASP.NET MVC2. I have a controller called SearchController and a view folder called Search containing Search.aspx. In my controller I have:
It works fine the first time I click the button, and the browser shows a url of [URL]. However, when I click the button a second time the browser url changes to [URL] and I get a 404. What am I doing wrong?
