I am trying to add Canada Post shipping information to my website. Canada Post has this link to a sample site showing what to send. [URL] I have worked with Canada Post support and they have no sample code for C# or Visual Studio. Can some get me started on how to send the above information from a button click event?

I know you are all going to answer "use a debugging proxy server like Fiddler" but it's not that simple.
Here's my situation: I have some code that runs on a server, in an ASP.NET page code-behind (aspx.cs), which (among other things) establishes a connection to another server, grabs some stuff, and then formats it and returns it to the browser.
The problem is that the other server is doing the wrong thing, and so I want to be able to pass a debugging flag into the page (via the query string, e.g. ?debug=true) so that it will print out the completely raw HTTP request that it is sending to the other server so I can see what the heck is wrong. This code is running in several places so I want to be able to just pass in this flag on dev, staging, or production and just see the request, without having to figure out whether the production servers can talk to some proxy server that exists somewhere, etc.
You would think that it would be easy to do this, right? So I feel like I'm crazy or something but I looked at the reference for HttpWebRequest and its parent class WebRequest and -- nothing. No can do. You would think Microsoft would have thought of this. The closest thing is that you can access the "Headers" collection but when I tried it, it omitted some really important headers like "content length" -- so it must be "lying" to me (I know it's lying, because I know for a fact that the remote server is returning a 200 status -- the request is successful, it's just returning bad/different/wrong data)
Here is the asked-for code example:
HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://www.whatever.com");
req.Method = ... whatever ...;
... other setup for the request ...
/* At this point we are about to send the request.
What does the raw HTTP request look like? */
HttpWebResponse resp = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse();
RedirectResult is doing a HTTP Get. I want a redirect that does a Http POST

View 1 RepliesIs it possible to send multiple HTTP requests asynchronously to an ASP.NET web site or any other web server using .NET ? And, then. collect responses from those requests as they come using .NET asynchronous paradigm ? Is it possible ? Or would there still be limit of max 2 HTTP connections from .NET using HTTP ?
View 1 RepliesI am using an SMS Gateway to make my application receive SMSs. For this, the SMS Gateway sends a request to one of the pages in my application with the message as a querystring parameter. eg.[URL]. Now after my page gets invoked, I need to send an OK response to the SMS Gateway so that it doesn't keep retrying to send the same message to my application again and again. I cannot figure out how to send the OK response.
View 1 RepliesThis has been bugging me for a while now. Whenever I try to share my website link on Facebook or another link-sharing site, the link-sharing site either removes the URL (like it doesn't recognize it as valid) or in Facebook's case - it can't retrieve meta-data automatically.
I'm pretty sure that it used to work. However, Googling / StackOverflowing for this problem is a difficult task, since I have no idea what possibly could create this problem.
I've tried to create a static .HTM file on my website, and that works fine: test.htm
My default home page is a classic ASP (yeah I know, PHP version in the works) which uses IIS 7 URL Rewrite module.

The first 4 lines of my default.asp (/) file are:
Response.ContentType = "text/html"
Response.AddHeader "Content-Type", "text/html;charset=UTF-8"
Response.CodePage = 65001
Response.CharSet = "UTF-8"
Calling aContext.Response.Redirect(...) from an ActionResult subclass' ExecuteResult method results in an HTTP GET being sent to the specified URL.
Does someone know how to get the redirect to send an HTTP POST instead? This is necessary for passing control to PayPal's payment page.
What wrong with this code?

I am working on a application which will accept the data in the post request.I will surely implement the data encryption to make sure that communication is secured. But my concern is, any body who knows the URL will be able to send the POST data request to my application, can I restrict the request from once specific IP address/URL.From a Request object can I find out which application/HOSTname/URL has sent this request. I looked at RefererURL but it can be populated and cannot be used. Is there any other field/properly which will tell me about the party who has sent this request.I want to make sure that I process request received from one specific URL/IP and want to ignore all others.

We have some review coming up and my boss gave me a list of web page security vulnerabilities to look through and consider for our public site. I really don't understand the Get versus Post:
8Misusing HTTP POST and GET
Use POST to submit forms
Use GET to access resources
–NEVER use GET to authenticate users as it leaves a residual trace of all users in the web server access logs (not to mention web application proxy tools)
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?
