Persits ASPPDF ImportFromUrl ServerXMLHTTP Error: The request has timed out - pdf

We have a test website that uses Persits ASPPDF to build a PDF using the ImportFromUrl method. It works fine on our test domain, but when I use the same code on another domain (and crucially perhaps, a sub-domain) I get the "MSXML2::ServerXMLHTTP Error: The request has timed out." error.
This leads me to think its related to the problem outlined in
https://support.persits.com/show.asp?code=PS080709171
"the calling Active Server Page (ASP) should not send requests to an ASP in the same virtual directory or to another virtual directory in the same pool or process. This can result in poor performance due to thread starvation."
So perhaps the config of the two servers hosting the two sites (test and live) are different - and if so what would that be? - Or you can't run this method on a sub-domain? Any guidance out there please?

I've had the same issue for weeks and finally found out what the problem was. In my case, it was because I had set to True the options that allow the debug of classic ASP code, without which I could not debug using visual studio. Setting those options back to False fixed the issue.

ColdFusion 2018 - Requests Multiply Executed

with a new project we encountered some strange behaviour on our ColdFusion application.
Whenever a single request is initiated from the browser, the code of the cfml-templates is
executed multiple times. Upon viewing the corresponding log-files we found out, that indeed
for some reason the same request fires the evaluation in our application multiple times. One request
generates several entries. This is especially the case for long-running requests, such as database imports.
The ColdFusion application implements a REST-service, but even on manually requesting a resource,
such as a certain cfml page, on the same application - the code gets executed an unknown amount of times(variable initializations, database write-operations etc. take place), and if the request runs too long (cap at around ~4-6 seconds) there is no response to the browser.
About the infrastructure:
The application is Coldfusion18 with Tomcat Standard Edition
The webserver is an Apache (2.4.6).
Everything runs on a Linux machine with Cent OS 7.7
The corresponding Java version is 11.0.4
Our best guess is that there might be some misscommunication between the coldfusion connector with
the apache webserver. We actually searched for some configuration parameters that could cause the
problem, without success. Upon an installation on a windows machine we did not encounter that error.
Anyone got any idea?
we just found our answer in the following post:

PUT Stream 0 Bytes

I am using Windows Explorer to test the WebDAV implementation I am adapting to our system. The implementation is using IIS Express and is launched by Visual Studio 2013. I turned off Windows Explorer's requirement for SSL with WebDAV so I can test basic authentication (which works).
The problem I am having is with the Write method of the DavFile implementation. I connect to the web folder, navigate to a sub folder, then attempt to copy a JPG file from a folder on my computer's hard drive, into the WebDAV sub folder (using Windows Explorer).
The attempt to copy up a file (854kb) fails. When I set a break point, I notice that the "segment" stream (one of the input parameters on the "write" method, shows 0 (zero) bytes length.
Any tips on how to debug this problem? What is the most likely cause of 0 byte in the stream?
Here are some ideas about how to understand what is going wrong:
Examine the server log for exceptions. By default it is called WebDAVLog.txt and located in \App_Data\WebDAV\Logs\ folder. Are there any exceptions in it? Check your server log and make sure all requests were successful.
Examine WebDAV requests with a Fiddler tool or any other debugging proxy. While all requests that reached the WebDAV server Engine are logged, if the request failed before hitting the Engine you will not see it in a log. Usually this happens if the request failed during authentication stage.
Note that to capture requests using Fiddler on 'localhost' you must use 'localhost.fiddler' instead of 'localhost' when connecting to server, for example: http://localhost.fiddler:1234.
Exclude any client side issues. Finally there could be issues with client software that you are using, including with Microsoft miniredirector. Try to access server from any other machine. To get the idea if the problem is on the client or server side try also to reproduce the issue on ajaxbrowser.com.
You can post a part of the WebDAVLog.txt or fiddler log here or send it to IT Hit, it may give the idea of what is wrong.

Sporadic invalid_request 400 errors connecting to Shopify /admin/oauth/access_token

I am using a java raw HTTP client to connect to Shopify API (specifically, using Play Framework with the non-defualt sync driver which is actually the JDK's default driver).
My application usually manages to connect successfully and convert the temporary access token into a permanent one by calling the /admin/oauth/access_token endpoint.
However, sometimes I get this error result from the API:
Generic Error(400)
{"error":"invalid_request"}
I haven't been able to reproduce the issue with my test stores - I've tried installing a fresh store, reinstalling existing stores after uninstalling, I'm not sure why this call sometimes fail and how to debug it. The API call still continues to succeed for some stores using our application.
Some things that I am doing:
Even if the URL of the store is on a custom domain, I'm always using the https://foo.myshopfiy.com/admin/oauth/access_token URL and not the URL of the custom domain, to prevent a redirect.
I am always using an https URL and never an http one, again to prevent a redirect (we noticed a few issues with redirect with the Java HTTP client, so we aim to have zero redirects)
A thread I found about this error suggest possible problems with our SSL certificates, however I don't think this is my problem because some requests work for us, and the result of running openssl on our machine does't show any issues.
How should I proceed? Open a support ticket with Shopify?
FYI, I see that this specific problem only started yesterday on Feb 19 2013, so it might be a temporary issue.
FYI, the problem was caused by reusing a temporary access code.
Our fault - Shopify could have been more clear in their error message though.

Silverlight wcf connection error

I'm about a month away developing my silverlight application (this is my first). Everything went rather smoothly until today, when out of the blue I started getting this message:
An error occurred while trying to make a request to URI 'http://localhost:2682/Services/Authentication/LoginService.svc'. This could be due to attempting to access a service in a cross-domain way without a proper cross-domain policy in place, or a policy that is unsuitable for SOAP services. You may need to contact the owner of the service to publish a cross-domain policy file and to ensure it allows SOAP-related HTTP headers to be sent. This error may also be caused by using internal types in the web service proxy without using the InternalsVisibleToAttribute attribute. Please see the inner exception for more details.
I'm using WCF Services and this issue never appeared until now.
I've added a clientdomain.xml and clientaccesspolicy.xml file to my [projectname].web folder, and re-wrote them about a 1000 different ways.
I've also used Fiddler and it shows me that the error is on both those files, the error is
[Fiddler] The socket connection to localhost failed. ErrorCode: 10061. No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:2682
I've searched the error "10061" and it has to do with socket definition. But I couldn't find any solution to that.
Don't know if it has anything to do with it, but my "ASP.net Development Server" port is 6939.
Keep in mind that the app has NOT been deployed, so this is only happening locally. I'm using MS VS 2010 and MS SQL Server 2008.
Am I doing anything wrong or is this a silverlight issue??
On a last note, I haven't changed anything on Port, socket or service configuration. Last thing I was doing was editing a XAML file on client side and and the app started throwing me this error.
Need help, can't do anything until this is solved!!!!
Thanks.
i think you are using you app on localhost and a dynamic port is getting assigned and this port is not fixed and every run and that causes the refuse problem. if you want to fix this, create a solid url for example,
http://localhost/apps/Services/Authentication/LoginService.svc
Well, last night, just before I went to bed, I noticed something odd. In my "ServiceReferences.ClientConfig" file, the endpoint ports for each one of my services where diferent from the ones the silverlight machine used, so going on a hunch (and because I was reaching my sanity breakpoint) I decided to eliminate all my Service References and re-add them again.
I worked... go figure. Still don't know why this happened and if anyone could shed some light on the subject, I would appreciate it. It's kinda of annoying having to re-add all my services references. Right now I have only 6 of them, but in the near future they may go over 20, and if this happens again... well, it's going to be a real pain...
Thanks

WCF Services not working from Silverlight Application after Deploying

Okay I have seen some very similar questions here but none seem to be answered to my liking. I have created a Silverlight application that calls a couple of services to populate various comboboxes from the database. I got this working without too much trouble on my local machine.
So now I want to deploy it to our webserver. It was relatively straight forward to get ISS7 to load the Silverlight application. However, none of my services seem to be working properly, in that the comboboxes are empty. In IE I get the following error:
Message: Unhandled Error in Silverlight Application An exception occurred during the operation, making the result invalid. Check InnerException for exception details. at System.ComponentModel.AsyncCompletedEventArgs.RaiseExceptionIfNecessary()
at MyTestPage.ViewModel.MyService.GetInfoCompletedEventArgs.get_Result()
at MyTestPage.ViewModel.MainPageViewModel.b__2(Object s, GetInfoCompletedEventArgs ea)
at MyTestPage.ViewModel.MyService.MyServiceClient.OnGetInfoCompleted(Object state)
Line: 1
Char: 1
Code: 0
URI: http://www.mywebsite.com/MyTestPage.aspx
My problem is that this error only occurs when deploying on the webserver and I have no clue how to debug this problem. The error says to check the InnerException but I haven't found an answer yet (after hours of searching) that tells me how I should do this.
I have tried browsing to the services and I am able to do so using the domain name i.e. http://test.myserver.com/Services/MyService.svc. However when logged onto the server and using http://localhost:3456/Services/MyService.svc - which is the path in the ServicesReferences.ClientConfig file - It cannot be found.
Some answers here seem to suggest using a clientaccesspolicy.xml file but I don't understand why this should be necessary if the services are hosted on the same server as the application - they aren't required when debugging on my local machine. Despite my reservations I have tried adding a clientaccesspolicy.xml file to the root of the application but this still doesn't make any difference.
So I have a couple of questions:
1) How do I get access to the InnerException when I am running the application on the webserver? Is there a specific log file I can view or turn on?
2) If, for some reason, I am trying to access the service in a cross domain fashion (even though they are located on the same server) how do I configure the application so that this isn't required?
UPDATE:
Ok, I was able to get the tracing to work. I can now see the trace details on the page when it loads but it doesn't really tell me anything useful. I have also added the option to write the details to the disk. Initially this file wasn't being written and I couldn't understand why. Then I noticed that refreshing my silverlight application was not triggering a write to the log. It was only when I manually browsed to the services that the log file was updated. This seems to indicate to me that my silverlight application is not hitting the services at all (for some reason). I tried cutting out the View Model object and hitting the service directly from the xaml code behind file but this didn't make any difference either.
At this point after spending more than two days trying to figure this out, I am thinking about starting again from scratch.
For my mind it shouldn't be this difficult to deploy something that works on a development machine to a webserver.
I pretty much gave up on my initial approach. I had another go following along from this video http://www.silverlight.net/learn/videos/all/net-ria-services-intro/. It uses Domain services instead of the WCF Services and it was actually fairly straight forward to get it going on the webserver. The example is two years old now so maybe there are better ways to do this now (I am open to suggestions) but at least it worked within an hour of trying it (compared to 2.5 days and getting nowhere).
