I'm trying to pass parameters in the request body, the documentation says :
The request to be sent was defined in a prior call to the Open method. The calling application can provide data to be sent to the server through the Body parameter. If the HTTP verb of the object's Open is "GET", this method sends the request without Body, even if it is provided by the calling application.
So, I need to use POST with body. But when I use use POST with body I have error "Bad Request: message text is empty" and when I use GET with body result is ok. Why?
My code:
WinHttp = NEW COMObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1");
WinHttp.Open("GET", "http://api.telegram.org/botbotname/sendMessage", 0);
WinHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/json");
JSONWr = New JSONWriter();
JSONWr.ValidateStructure = False;
JSONParams = New JSONWriterSettings( , Chars.Tab);
JSONWr.SetString(JSONParams);
JSONWr.WriteStartObject();
JSONWr.WritePropertyName("chat_id");
JSONWr.WriteValue(UserId);
JSONWr.WritePropertyName("text");
JSONWr.WriteValue(Text);
JSONWr.WriteEndObject();
JSONString = JSONWr.Close();
WinHttp.Send(JSONString);
work, but how? And why the same with POST doesn`t work?

I am trying to run a script where postman sends a Get request, and if the get response contains a certain variable to then run a Post request. How do i do this?
(also is there a way to run a get request hourly)
In pre-requisite add:
// set initial value
const method = pm.variables.get("method")
// set initial value as GET if method is undefined
method ? null : pm.variables.set("method", "GET")
// Set this as method
pm.request.method =method
in test script add :
// the condition check
if (pm.response.json().somevalue === "somevalue") {
//then change the method
pm.variables.set("method", "POST")
//call the same request again using setNExtRequest
// pm.info.reqeustName gives current request's name
postman.setNextRequest(pm.info.requestName)
}
Using a HttpClientFeature implementation with responsePipeline.intercept seems the right way to change an HTTP response.
However, I do not understand how to update the response body. Especially I don't understand how to wrap the new HttpResponse to be passed in to proceedWith.
You can use the HttpResponseContainer to proceed with a new response body:
client.responsePipeline.intercept(HttpResponsePipeline.Transform) { (info, body) ->
val newBody = "test"
proceedWith(HttpResponseContainer(info, newBody))
}
I am using Alamofire in my App. This is my Alamofire request code
let params: [String:AnyObject] = ["email": self.signin_Email.text!, "password": self.signin_Password.text!]
Alamofire.request(.GET, "http://DomainName/api/App/Sign_Up", parameters: params, encoding:.JSON)
.responseJSON { response in
debugPrint(response)
}
when i put debugPrint(reponse)
what i got is this
[Request]: { URL:
http://Domain/api/App/Sign_Up } [Response]: nil [Data]:
0 bytes [Result]: FAILURE: Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1017
"cannot parse response" UserInfo={NSUnderlyingError=0x7ffe0840e700

Here i am always getting the response status as Failure. I am not able to figure out what's going on. (using mvc4 as backend).
This is the Api method that accepts the above given request and returns a JSON Data
[System.Web.Http.HttpGet]
public JsonResult Sign_Up(string email,string password)
{
email = email;
password = password;
System.Web.Mvc.JsonResult usertoreturn = new System.Web.Mvc.JsonResult();
SignUpViewModel signupviewmodel = new SignUpViewModel();
usermodeltocheck.SetPassword(password);
usermodeltocheck.MembershipDate = DateTime.Now;
usermodeltocheck.IsMember = true;
usermodeltocheck.PublicKey = Guid.NewGuid().ToString("N");
usermodeltocheck.MembershipStatus = true;
usertoreturn.Data = Helper.UpdateUser(usermodeltocheck);
}
usertoreturn.JsonRequestBehavior = System.Web.Mvc.JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet;
return usertoreturn;
}
UPDATE #1 I have created a new method named test that accepts a parameter.The method just returns the parameter value .I tried the sample code available in Github and its working. I am able to get proper response if I am avoiding parameters argument in Alamofire request Method. like
Alamofire.request(.GET, "http://DomainName/api/App/Test", encoding: .JSON).responseJSON{
response in
debugPrint(response)
}
here I am getting a SUCCESS response. I have updated my code like this
Alamofire.request(.GET, "http://DomianName/api/App/Test?test=testing", encoding: .JSON).responseJSON{
response in
debugPrint(response)
}
here also I am getting SUCCESS response. The Error occurs when I pass parameter value to the argument parameters parameters: ["test":"testing"].
also I set my parameters like this
let params = ["test":"testing"]
Alamofire.request(.GET, "http://DomianName/api/App/Test", parameters : params ,encoding: .JSON).responseJSON{
response in
debugPrint(response)
}
in this way also i am getting my response to FAILURE
May be its not an answer you are looking for but for me removing a parameter from Alamofire request method did the trick. Here is the change:
let params : [String:AnyObject] = ["email":self.signin_Email.text!,"password":self.signin_Password.text!]
let request = Alamofire.request(.GET, "http://DomianName/api/App/Sign_Up", parameters: params).responseJSON{
response in
switch response.result{
case .Success(let data) :
let json = JSON(data)
print(json)
case .Failure(let error):
print("Error : \(error)" )
}
}
I have removed encoding:.JSON from my Alamofire request method parameter list and that's it...
Try to print out all the data in response using the following:
let URLString = "http://DomainName/api/App/Sign_Up"
Alamofire.request(.GET, URLString, parameters: params, encoding:.JSON)
.responseJSON { response in
debugPrint(response)
}
Once you print it out, if you could update your question, we could help further. I'll update my answer accordingly afterwards. 👍🏼
Update #1
Okay, so the NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1017 points out that your server is most likely misbehaving. Are you able to successfully use cURL, Postman, Paw or some other HTTP client to hit the service? Once you get one of those working, you should use debugPrint on the `request object to compare.
let URLString = "http://DomainName/api/App/Sign_Up"
let request = Alamofire.request(.GET, URLString, parameters: params, encoding:.JSON)
.responseJSON { response in
debugPrint(response)
}
debugPrint(request)
This will show you the cURL command for the request.
I know this is kind of old but I stumbled upon this looking for something else. From what I have seen, I tend to get errors in this situation any time params are passed as JSON encoded with a .GET instead of a .POST
Changing the server to take a post for the URI makes everything flow correctly, and I guess in theory that is correct behavior, since if you aren't passing the values in the URL, you are technically posting the JSON to the endpoint.
I am trying to add an event from my local database to the Davical server (in fact, this should apply to any CalDav server, as long as it is compliant with the CalDav protocol)...
From what I could read here, I can send a PUT request to add events contained in a VCALENDAR collection... So here is what I try to do:
try {
// Create the HttpWebRequest object
HttpWebRequest Request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create("http://my_caldav_srv/davical.php/user/mycalendar");
// Add the network credentials to the request
Request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(usr, pwd);
// Specify the method
Request.Method = "PUT";
// some headers - I MAY BE MISSING THINGS HERE???
Request.Headers.Add("Overwrite", "T");
// set the body of the request...
Request.ContentLength = bodyStr.Length;
Stream reqStream = Request.GetRequestStream();
// Write the string to the destination as a text file.
reqStream.Write( Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(body), 0, body.Length);
// Set the content type header.
Request.ContentType = contentType.Trim();
// Send the method request and get the response from the server.
Response = (HttpWebResponse)Request.GetResponse();
}
catch (Exception e) {
throw new Exception("Caught error: " + e.Message, e);
}
The body I send is actually an emtpy calendar:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
CALSCALE:GREGORIAN
METHOD:PUBLISH
PRODID:-//davical.org//NONSGML AWL Calendar//EN
X-WR-CALNAME:My Calendar
END:VCALENDAR
For a reason I cannot understand, the call with "PUT" returns an error (405) Method Not Allowed. The PUSH returns (500) Internal Server Error, but looking at the debug details, the reason is the same as for the PUT case...
In debugging on the server side, I found out that the reason is that in caldav-PUT-vcalendar.php, the following clause is violated:
$c->readonly_webdav_collections
Well, first, let me mention that with the SAME credentials entered in Lightning, I am able to add/remove events and, on the admin interface, I actually made sure to grant ALL rights to the user. So I'd be surprised it is due to that...
Any help would be most appreciated !
Kind regards,
Nik
OK, I got it....
The reason is that one must put the event to some EVENT adress....
I.e. the "url" is not the collection's address, but the EVENT's address...
So the same code using the following address works:
string url="http://my_server/caldav.php/username/calendarpath/_my_event_id.ics";
Does anybody know if it is possible to insert / delete multiple events at once ???
I am having a RESTful service with the following method:
[WebInvoke]
string GetDataFromStringAsString(string xmlString);
My client call to the method is as below:
var client = new RestClient();
client.BaseUrl = serviceBaseUrl;
var request = new RestRequest(method){RequestFormat = DataFormat.Xml};
request.Resource = resourceUrl;
request.AddParameter("text/xml", requestBody,
ParameterType.RequestBody);
var response = client.Execute(request);
Let us take a string to post as "Hello World".
Now the string that i post to the above method gives me a 400 Bad
request. In order to get it working i had to wrap the above string in
a element as shown below:
<string xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/
Serialization/">Hello World</string>
Now when i post the above string i get a success response back from
the server.
Why is that i have to manually wrap the string to make it work. Is
there a way that i can achieve to post a string without doing the
above manually.
The only other way that I am aware of is to use stream as your input parameter. e.g.
[WebInvoke]
string GetDataFromStringAsString(stream xmlString);
The problem with .Net 4 WCF REST is that fundamentally WCF only knows how to pass two types of info, either XML or a stream of bytes. Personally, I would use WCF Web API instead of the standard WCF REST library because you are going run into lots more of these kinds of issues.
