Hi I'm gonna code my application on xCode in Swift, before i had problems with my WebService SOAP in Android, so I did some search and they're a lot of subjects about, but my WebService is particular, look in Android what I did:
SSLConnection.allowAllSSL();
SoapObject request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, "SendLead");
request.addProperty("xml", xml);
SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);
envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);
HttpTransportBasicAuth httpTransport = new HttpTransportBasicAuth(URL, getResources().getString(R.string.login), getResources().getString(R.string.mdp));
httpTransport.debug = true;
httpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope);
SoapObject result = (SoapObject) envelope.bodyIn;
Log.i(TAG, "Result Celsius: " + result);
SoapObject SendLeadReturn = (SoapObject) result.getProperty("SendLeadReturn");
String code = SendLeadReturn.getPropertyAsString("code");
So I have many constrains:
https URL
I have to keep my login to use the other functions of the wsdl (HttpTransportBasicAuth)
I send and receive xml strings
How to do it, I think it's preferable to import a Objective C class, but which and how please ?

I am implementing a Xamarin Form mobile app to allow post photo to Drupal using service module node resources. http://xxxx.com/{endpoint}/node/4/attach_file
i able to post from POSTMAN with
I tried to implement with c# HttpClient but keep getting response like "401 :Missing required argument field_name"
Please help on my code:
var httpClient = new HttpClient(new NativeMessageHandler());
httpClient.Timeout.Add(new TimeSpan(0, 0, 30));
httpClient.BaseAddress = new Uri(BaseAddress);
var content = new MultipartFormDataContent();
var streamContent = new StreamContent(g_media.GetStream());
streamContent.Headers.ContentDisposition = ContentDispositionHeaderValue.Parse("form-data");
streamContent.Headers.ContentDisposition.Parameters.Add(new NameValueHeaderValue("field_name", "field_receipt_image"));
content.Add(streamContent,"files[file]");
var response = await httpClient.PostAsync("node/4/attach_file", content);
response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
I had the same issue and used RestSharp to resolve it. Here is the code I used to upload a file to Drupal:
var restClient = new RestClient("http:XXXXXX/attach_file");
var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST);
request.AddFile("files[file]", fileName);
request.AddParameter("field_name", field);
IRestResponse response = restClient.Execute(request);
I'm trying to make the built-in Basic Authentication work with the Xamarin AndroidClientHandler, but with no success. The code looks like this:
https://github.com/tieto-sternell/DemoAndroidBasicAuth/blob/c6bb4d547f2456e66b25daca4951957250278ac3/DemoAndroidBasicAuth/DemoAndroidBasicAuth.Droid/TestStuff.cs#L39-L43
ICredentials credentials = new NetworkCredential(dummyUsername, dummyPassword);
var handler = new AndroidClientHandler();
handler.Credentials = credentials;
and:
https://github.com/tieto-sternell/DemoAndroidBasicAuth/blob/c6bb4d547f2456e66b25daca4951957250278ac3/DemoAndroidBasicAuth/DemoAndroidBasicAuth.Droid/TestStuff.cs#L19-L21
var client = new HttpClient(handler);
var badResponse = await client.GetAsync(basicUri) as AndroidHttpResponseMessage;
As you can see, it is pretty straight-forward and the code looks very similar to its working .Net equivalent. The response is 401, though, so I am doing something wrong.
Edit: As #jgoldberger points out below, it is possible to create the headers manually. This can be done either by adding a header to the message (github.com/tieto-sternell/DemoAndroidBasicAuth/blob/e7118f88a5b45f91207e90e9ea64c554d0ea9cd6/DemoAndroidBasicAuth/DemoAndroidBasicAuth.Droid/TestStuff.cs#L43-L48)
byte[] byteToken = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(dummyUsername + ":" + dummyPassword);
var tokenValue = Convert.ToBase64String(byteToken);
var token = "Basic " + tokenValue;
HttpRequestMessage requestMessage = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Get, new Uri(basicUri));
requestMessage.Headers.Add("Authorization", token.ToString());
Or by adding a header to the HttpClient (github.com/tieto-sternell/DemoAndroidBasicAuth/blob/e7118f88a5b45f91207e90e9ea64c554d0ea9cd6/DemoAndroidBasicAuth/DemoAndroidBasicAuth.Droid/TestStuff.cs#L33-L37)
byte[] byteToken = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(dummyUsername + ":" + dummyPassword);
var tokenValue = Convert.ToBase64String(byteToken);
var client = new HttpClient();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic", tokenValue);
I don't think that this is how it is supposed to work, though. I mean, when is this (github.com/xamarin/xamarin-android/blob/0c3597869bc4493895e755bda8a26f778e4fe9e0/src/Mono.Android/Xamarin.Android.Net/AuthModuleBasic.cs#L50-L52)
response += cred.UserName + ":" + cred.Password;
return new Authorization ($"{AuthenticationType} {Convert.ToBase64String (Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes (response))}");
code supposed to run in that case?
It looks to me as if the Authentication module isn't used.
The background story here is that I need to know how to make Basic work as part of a larger problem which involves Digest authentication and the custom "AuthenticationScheme.Unsupported", but we'll get there later when we've got the simpler basic auth scheme up and running.

Having built an app using PCL method in Xamarin and have had it working 100% using standard HTTP I now changed the remote test server to use SSL with self signed certs.
The app contacts a custom API for logging onto a server and querying for specific data.
I've changed the app to look at SSL now and initially got an error regarding Authentication not working or something but turned off SSL related errors for testing using:
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback += (o, certificate, chain, errors) => true;
in my AppDelegate files FinishedLaunching method which got over that error.
I'm now getting a 404 / protocol error when trying to do my Login POST to the given URL.
I am using HttpWebRequest for my RESTful calls and this works fine if I change back to plain http.
Not sure why but some articles suggested using ModernHttpClient, which I did. I imported the component (also added the package using NuGet) to no avail.
Am I missing something else that I should be configuring in my code related to httpwebresponse when contacting the SSL server or is this component simply incapable of speaking to an SSL server?
My login function is as follows (Unrelated code removed/obfuscated):
public JsonUser postLogin(string csrfToken, string partnerId, string username, string password){
string userEndPoint = SingletonAppSettngs.Instance ().apiEndPoint;
userEndPoint = userEndPoint.Replace ("druid/", "");
var request = WebRequest.CreateHttp(string.Format(this.apiBaseUrl + userEndPoint + #"user/login.json"));
// Request header collection set up
request.ContentType = "application/json";
request.Headers.Add ("X-CSRF-Token", csrfToken);
// Add other configs
request.Method = "POST";
using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(request.GetRequestStream()))
{
string json_body_content = "{\"username\":\"" + username + "\",\"password\":\"" + password + "\"}";
streamWriter.Write(json_body_content);
streamWriter.Flush();
streamWriter.Close();
}
try{
HttpWebResponse httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader (httpResponse.GetResponseStream ())) {
var content = reader.ReadToEnd ();
content = content.Replace ("[],", "null,");
content = content.Replace ("[]", "null");
if (content == null) {
throw new Exception ("request_post_login - content is NULL");
} else {
JsonSerializerSettings jss = new JsonSerializerSettings();
jss.NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore;
JsonUser deserializedUser = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JsonUser>(content, jss);
if(content.Contains ("Hire company admin user")){
deserializedUser.user.roles.__invalid_name__5 = "Hire company admin user";
deserializedUser.user.roles.__invalid_name__2 = "authenticated user";
}
return deserializedUser;
}
}
}catch(Exception httpEx){
Console.WriteLine ("httpEx Exception: " + httpEx.Message);
Console.WriteLine ("httpEx Inner Exception: " + httpEx.InnerException.Message);
JsonUser JsonUserError = new JsonUser ();
JsonUserError.ErrorMessage = "Error occured: " + httpEx.Message;
return JsonUserError;
}
}
When making a Web Request using ModernHttpClient, I generally follow the pattern below. Another great library created by Paul Betts is refit, and can be used to simplify rest calls.
using (var client = new HttpClient(new NativeMessageHandler(false, false)))
{
client.BaseAddress = new Uri(BaseUrl, UriKind.Absolute);
var result = await Refit.RestService.For<IRestApi>(client).GetData();
}
The second parameter for NativeMessageHandler should be set to true if using a customSSLVerification.
Here's a look at IRestApi
public interface IRestApi
{
[Get("/foo/bar")]
Task<Result> GetMovies();
}
Number of things I had to do to get this to work.
The Self Signed Cert had to allow TLS 1.2
As the API is Drupal based, HTTPS had to be enabled on the server and a module installed to manage the HTTP specific pages.
I will searching since 10 days but i have not succeed in soap parsing in wp7.
My code is below. I get the The remote server returned an error: NotFound. and System.Net.WebException.
code is below :
private const string AuthServiceUri = "http://manarws.org/WS/manarService.asmx";
private const string AuthEnvelope =
#"<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""utf-8""?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi=""http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"" xmlns:xsd=""http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"" xmlns:soap=""http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"">
<soap:Body>
<fnGetNewsResponse xmlns=""http://tempuri.org/"">
<fnGetNewsResult></fnGetNewsResult>
</fnGetNewsResponse>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>";
public void Authenticate()
{
HttpWebRequest spAuthReq = HttpWebRequest.Create(AuthServiceUri) as HttpWebRequest;
spAuthReq.Headers["SOAPAction"] = "http://tempuri.org/fnGetNews";
spAuthReq.ContentType = "text/xml; charset=utf-8";
spAuthReq.Method = "POST";
spAuthReq.BeginGetRequestStream(new AsyncCallback(spAuthReqCallBack), spAuthReq);
}
private void spAuthReqCallBack(IAsyncResult asyncResult)
{
UTF8Encoding encoding = new UTF8Encoding();
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)asyncResult.AsyncState;
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("REquest is :" + request.Headers);
Stream _body = request.EndGetRequestStream(asyncResult);
string envelope = string.Format(AuthEnvelope,"","");
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Envelope is :" + envelope);
byte[] formBytes = encoding.GetBytes(envelope);
_body.Write(formBytes, 0, formBytes.Length);
_body.Close();
request.BeginGetResponse(new AsyncCallback(ResponseCallback), request);
}
private void ResponseCallback(IAsyncResult asyncResult)
{
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Async Result is :" + asyncResult);
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)asyncResult.AsyncState;
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.EndGetResponse(asyncResult);
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Response is :::::::::::::::::::----" + request.EndGetResponse(asyncResult));
if (request != null && response != null)
{
if (response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK)
{
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
string responseString = reader.ReadToEnd();
}
}
}
I get the error in HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.EndGetResponse(asyncResult); line...
So, Please help me.
Thanks.
Maybe I am missing something but why not just adding a service reference ?
The service located at 'http://manarws.org/WS/manarService.asmx' is a classic web service and you can browse wsdl. You can add a reference in Visual Studio. It will generate a proxy class to call this webservice. Manual soap parsing is quite painful.
EDIT :
1) Right clic on service reference in your project.
2) Enter your service url. Then click Go.
3) You will have new classes in your project.
Just use them as you want. Exemple :
public void GetBranches()
{
ManarServiceReference.manarServiceSoapClient client = new ManarServiceReference.manarServiceSoapClient();
client.fnGetBranchesCompleted += new EventHandler<ManarServiceReference.fnGetBranchesCompletedEventArgs>(client_fnGetBranchesCompleted);
client.fnGetBranchesAsync();
}
void client_fnGetBranchesCompleted(object sender, ManarServiceReference.fnGetBranchesCompletedEventArgs e)
{
//TODO
}
Follow these steps to know how to use a SOAP service
-- Create a new project.
-- Right-click on the Project name and click on "Add Service Reference"...
Then provide address as "http://manarws.org/WS/manarService.asmx?wsdl" and click Go.
-- Once service information is downloaded, provide Namespace something like
"MyMemberService" at the bottom and click Ok.
Now that your proxy classes should be ready.
Go to your Mainpage.xaml.cs and type 'client' there..you should probably get a class with the name "ManarServiceClient".
If you get that, then try to call the suitable methods of that class.
For an example,
ManarServiceClient client = new ManarServiceClient();
client.fnGetNewsResponseCompleted += new EventHandler<fnGetNewsResponseCompletedEventArgs>(client_fnGetNewsResponseCompleted);
client.fnGetNewsResponseAsync();
Note: I am not with my working system, so cannot give you exact code. All the above is a guessed code and shall point you in the right direction. Will test my code and update soon.
If you create of an asmx web service. The first call is incredibly slow.
In my WinPhone app I'm accessing a REST service.
At the beginnings I was using this code:
WebClient wc = new WebClient();
wc.Credentials = credentials;
wc.Headers["App-Key"] = appKey;
wc.DownloadStringCompleted +=
(o, args) => MessageBox.Show(args.Error == null ? "OK" : "Error");
wc.DownloadStringAsync(uri);
but it suddenly stopped working returning me a "The remote server returned an error: NotFound" error. After a google session and some clicks in the control panel, I didn't get it to work.
I decided to try this other way:
HttpWebRequest request = HttpWebRequest.CreateHttp(uri);
request.Credentials = credentials;
request.Headers["App-Key"] = appKey;
request.BeginGetResponse(asResult =>
{
var response = request.EndGetResponse(asResult) as HttpWebResponse;
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
string responseString = reader.ReadToEnd();
Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(
() => MessageBox.Show(response.StatusCode.ToString()));
}, null);
and it works.
I also tried to run the first snipped pointing the URI to google's home page and it works (I had to remove the credentials, of course).
Can anyone explain what's going on?
UPDATE
I managed to get it working by replacing the
wc.Credentials = new NetworkCredentials(username, password);
with
wc.Headers["Authorization"] = "Basic someBase64encodedString";
but i still wonder what happened and which are the differences between the first and the second line.
PS: the test URI is: https://api.pingdom.com/api/2.0/checks but you will need an app-key from them.
When using the Credentials property, the HttpWebRequest implementation will wait the challenge response from server before to send the 'Authorization' header value.
But this can be an issue in some cases, so you have to force Basic authentication by providing directly the Authorization header.
Example when using a REST Client library like Spring.Rest :
RestTemplate template = new RestTemplate("http://example.com");
template.RequestInterceptors.Add(new BasicSigningRequestInterceptor("login", "password"));
string result = template.GetForObject<string>(uri);
