Magento API Stopped Working After Domain Name Change - api

I had Magento SOAP API working perfectly until the client said Doh! We need it on this url instead, after I moved it it to that new url API will not run no matter what, I've made all the necessary url changes in the API script, Configuration, the DB and the site files.
Is there somewhere the old url may be encoded where I'm not finding it using a find and replace?
For instance, I created a full cPanel back up of the site, restored it to another server, whet back through and changed all the instances of the new url back to the old url in the db, site files and configuration and WHALA! SOAP starts working again..
Thanks!

Can't update app registered in Microsoft Application Registration Portal

I have an already registered app in the site https://apps.dev.microsoft.com. I want to add another redirect URL but when I tried saving I get this error:
There's a temporary problem
There's a temporary problem with the service. Please try again. If you continue to get this message, try again later.
I have also tried using a different browser and clearing my cache but I still get the error.
I also tried registering a new app and I still get the same error. I have been getting the error for several days now and I was wondering if anybody knows a solution.
Thanks!
There are several restrictions on the format of the redirect URI that is allowed
Currently, apps that are registered in the Application Registration Portal are restricted to a limited set of redirect URI values. The redirect URI for web apps and services must begin with the scheme https, and all redirect URI values must share a single DNS domain. For example, you cannot register a web app that has one of these redirect URIs:
https://login-east.contoso.com
https://login-west.contoso.com
The scenarios that are accepted are when the DNS name matches exactly. Examples:
https://login.contoso.com
https://login.contoso.com/new
https://new.login.contoso.com

Getting mixed-content errors even though I’m only using https URLs

I'm having the SSL warning messages all over my website after switching to SSL for several assets:
Mixed Content: The page at 'https://example.com' was loaded over HTTPS,
but requested an insecure script 'http://example.com/script.js'. This
request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.
I checked the page source, every single script/css is requested over https.
I even checked the dynamically created html by using the code inspector.
I disabled Javascript in case a script was loading these assets dynamically.
None of these things showed a single http:// request. I'm out of ideas to try and find what is causing this. Any ideas or suggestions?
When seeing a mixed-content message about a http://example.com/script.js (non-https) URL that doesn’t actually appear anywhere in your sources, the basic strategy to follow is:
Replace the http in the URL with https and put that into the address bar in your browser: https://example.com/script.js
If your browser redirects from that https://example.com/script.js URL back to (non-https) http://example.com/script.js, then you’ve found the cause: example.com/script.js isn’t actually available from an https URL, and ends up getting served from a http URL even though your source is requesting the https URL.
My 2 cents regarding this issue.
I have a project hosted on one domain that works flawlessly.
I need to make it international so I am cloning the master branch to a new branch, making some necessary text changes and deploying new site (new domain) with code from the new branch.
Everything works fine, except 1 ajax call (api route) that gets blocked due to Mixed content.
First things first, I checked these 3 things:
I check in the Network tab in dev tools and it is actually loaded through https.
I open the file directly in browser and it is https.
I try to open it as http:// and it automatically redirects to https://
This is very strange because the 2 domains are both using Cloudflare and their backend setup is identical, the code is the same (only text changes for the new one) yet for the new setup there is console error for 1 specific api route, an all others (some 20+ ajax requests across the page) work just fine. They are even using the same function to make the Ajax request, so it is definitely not a configuration error.
After doing some investigation I found out the issue:
The call that was 'buggy' was ending in /. For example, all other calls were made to:
https://example.com/api/posts
https://example.com/api/users
And this particular one was making requests to
https://example.com/api/todos/
The slash at the end was making it fail with mixed content issue. I am not sure why this is causing issue and how it isn't an issue on the original site (since there the same ajax call works just fine), but it definitely fixed my issue.
If I figure out what caused the / to fail so miserably, I will post an update.

Google AppEngine API Explorer redirects and lists no URLs

I'm having an unending issue trying to use the AppEngine API explorer with the stupidly simple helloworld example.
When trying to navigate to the url to explore the API my Chrome browser redirects to HTTPS from the default HTTP and no API's are listed. I have gone through every possible fix I can find (Like this, and all of these) and none are working reliably.
What's the most infuriating is I have gotten the API listed TWICE but now no longer displays with any of the methods below.
The setup I had when it worked the first time:
Chrome launched with "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\Chrome.exe" --unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure=http://localhost:8080 (As per the tutorial)
The url being: (http://)apis-explorer.appspot.com/apis-explorer/?base=http://localhost:8080/_ah/api&root=http://localhost:8080/_ah/api#p/
The second time it worked was using also using the above URL but lasted only a second before being redirected to HTTPS and not listing anything.
Some specifics:
Windows 10 OS.
Every time the page loads I get the "The API you are exploring is hosted over HTTP, which can cause problems. Learn how to use Explorer with a local HTTP API." message, even the times the API displayed correctly.
Every time I now load any of the API Explorer URLs I get redirected to HTTPS, and nothing is listed. Also the URL is escaped (%3A instead of ':'). Not sure if it's important but the first time it worked the URL was HTTP and NOT escaped.
I have tried the shield in the search bar and enabling Load unsafe scripts ( from here).
Tried launching Chrome as usual and with the flags --unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure=http://localhost:8080 and/or --allow-running-insecure-content (from this answer).
Tried http://localhost:8080/_ah/api/explorer
Tried http://apis-explorer.appspot.com/apis-explorer/?base=http://localhost:8080/_ah/api#p/
http://localhost:8080/_ah/admin works correctly and shows the Admin console every time.
Since the API's being listed once I haven't touched the project code, but restarted the server, Chrome, and tried different URLs on more occasions than I care to count.
I also tried accessing the API URL directly as explained in this answer but cannot find the correct URL to access the helloworld /sayHi endpoint. Maybe someone can help me work out what I need to prefix it with as all of the variations I try give me a 404.
Any help would be a very very appreciated.

Magento SOAP API V1 changing soap:address location

We have a multistore magento setup thats still half in development. But we have 1 of the stores open with a test url.
e.g
test.domain.com
However when we go to: http://test.domain.com/index.php/api/index/?wsdl=1
I noticed that soap:address shows the main domain not the api url e.g:
<soap:address location="https://www.domain.com/index.php/api/index/index/?SID=vnl0ijdobf6ldj76pmc658rj92"/>
Which atm isn't live.
We have no issues with 3rd parties who come in on the V2 api but this doesn't seem to have a soap:address which I believe is the problem.
When I go to: http://test.domain.com/index.php/api/index/?wsdl=1 in a browser it shows xml.
When I try and make a soap call i get: looks like we got no XML document.
When I update my local hosts file with the new ip to point at the domain it will work.
But the 3rd party can't update their server because its shared hosting. Is there a way to change the API to point at the api url and not the base store url?

How to change url dynamically after packaging Metro apps?

Hi I have created a package for my metro application.Here while developing my app I have given a Url static,But I need to change Url dynamically whenever my requirement changes.So that what should I do?Can anyone help me.
Thank you.
If your requirements are changing, then you might be releasing a new version of your application anyways, so it might make sense to just update your app package manually each time the URL changes and re-release it. This is definitely the simplest solution if your URL is going to change infrequently. You would also need to handle deprecating the old URL in this instance or at least gracefully handling when the old URL is shut down so that users who have not upgraded to your latest version still don't have a horrid experience.
If that is not a viable option, then it gets a bit messier from here on. Really the only way to change the stored URL would be to have some sort of secondary service or authority on what the current URL is. The app would then do one of the following (or a combination):
Query the URL authority for the current URL before making any requests.
Attempt to make the request to the current stored URL, if it fails, query the URL authority for the new URL and store that URL.
