SignalR not sending web requests on start - asp.net-mvc-3

So, We are implementing some messaging system with signalR.
We included signalR through the latest version of Nuget.
The application is hosted on IIS 7. We have disabled all the URL Rewrite rules.
We are using a hub, see the following code:
[HubName("messages")]
public class Messages : Hub
{
public void Send(string message)
{
Clients.showPopUp(message);
}
}
The include files in the view:
<script src="#Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery-1.7.1.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="#Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.signalR.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="#Url.Content("~/signalr/hubs")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="#Url.Content("~/Scripts/Messages/Messages.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
Content of Messages.js:
$(function () {
var messages = $.connection.messages;
messages.showPopUp = function (message) {
console.log("test");
};
$.connection.hub.start(function () {
console.log('connected');
});
});
Called when a message is submitted:
$.connection.messages.send($('#Body').val());
So what we get: no errors in Google Chrome console, no xhr request what so over for signal.
We have checked if the /signalr/hubs exists and it does, also /signalr/negotiate returns the following json:
{"Url":"/agenda/signalr","ConnectionId":"a4215b26-32f1-4a52-bf6d-4de096298a07","TryWebSockets":false,"WebSocketServerUrl":null,"ProtocolVersion":"1.0"}
When we call send we get the following in the console:
Uncaught SignalR: Connection must be started before data can be sent. Call .start() before .send()
If we debug signalR, we see start was called, but we don't hit the error or success of the jQuery ajax call and there are no xhtml requests what so ever. What are we doing wrong?

Try checking out this issue: https://github.com/SignalR/SignalR/issues/328

Solution
In jquery.signalR.js change all the
$.ajax(url, {options});
to
$.ajax({ url: url, other options...});

socket.io connection event not firing in firefox

Im having something like the below code.
<script src="/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script>
<script>
var socket = io('http://localhost:8080');
socket.on('connect', function(){
socket.on('some-event', function(data) {});
});
socket.on('disconnect', function(){});
</script>
Inside the connect callback I have some code that responds to messages. This works perfectly fine on chrome. On first page load it works fine on firefox. If you reload the page then the connect event does not get called.
Im using 1.4.8 version of server and js client
I solved it using the following code. Not very clean but for the time being this helped us to progress with the project. As you can see the problem is the connect event not firing after a page reload, so I decided to attach the events after a timeout if connect was never fired.
function attachEventListners() {
socket.on('some-event', function(data) {});
}
var attached = false;
socket.on('connect', function(){
attachEventListners();
attached = true;
});
setTimeout(function() {
if (!attached) {
attachEventListners();
}
}, 1000);
You don't have to declare event listeners inside a connect listener, so even though I don't know a direct solution to your problem, I think this'll work around it:
<script>
var socket = io('http://localhost:8080');
socket.on('some-event', function(data) {});
socket.on('disconnect', function(){});
</script>
Because being able to receive messages implies that the socket is connected.
Instead of a timeout, you should use the load event listener on window
window.addEventListener("load",attachEventListners);

API request from front-end using sails.io.js

I have a basic front-end (html, css, jquery) and I'd like to use sails.io.js to communicate with an API server (developped with sails, with cors enabled). The API is running on localhost:10000 but it will be on an another domain than the one of the webclient later on.
Directly from jquery, I can issue some get request to this API and get the expected results.
When it comes to websocket, I have some problems...
In the index.html (just to test), I put the following:
<script src="js/sails.io.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
io.sails.url('http://localhost:10000');
io.socket.get('/data', function serverResponded (body, sailsResponseObject) {
// body === sailsResponseObject.body
console.log('Sails responded with: ', body);
console.log('with headers: ', sailsResponseObject.headers);
console.log('and with status code: ', sailsResponseObject.statusCode);
});
</script>
But Chrome's developer tools tell me
ReferenceError: io is not defined
Any idea ?
UPDATE
I'm serving index.html with a web server (python -m SimpleHTTPServer)
I've installed sails.io.js using bower.
I've try to make this test as simple as possible:
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
</head>
<body>
<script src="bower_components/sails.io.js/dist/sails.io.js"></script>
<script src="index.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
index.js:
window.onload=function(){
io.sails.url = 'http://localhost:10000';
io.socket.get('http://localhost:10000/data', function (body, response) {
console.log('Sails responded with: ', body);
});
};
My sails (0.9.16) API is only returning a json object on the GET /data route.
I have implemented a dummy __getcookie function in the api:
'get /__getcookie': function(req, res, next){
res.json({ok: 123});
}
And commented the line 481 in interpret.js (Scott comments below).
I have also modify config/socket.js with:
authorization: false,
=> I can now get the result from the /data route of my API :)
But... on each request I have the following error:
error: Error: No valid session available from this socket.
First of all, sails.io.js includes the code for socket.io.js, so there is no need to try and include that separately. You should remove this line:
<script src="bower_components/socket.io/lib/socket.js"></script>
Next, if you're just loading index.html from disk (rather than serving it from a web server), you'll need to tell the Sails socket client what URL to connect to:
io.sails.url = 'http://localhost:10000';
Put this anywhere before you start making socket calls; the library is smart enough to wait until its connected before trying to make the calls. So, altogether:
window.onload=function(){
io.sails.url = 'http://localhost:10000';
io.socket.get('http://localhost:10000/data', function (body, sailsResponseObject) {
console.log('Sails responded with: ', body);
console.log('with headers: ', sailsResponseObject.headers);
console.log('and with status code: ', sailsResponseObject.statusCode);
});
};
should work. You should be able to see in the console whether or not the socket connected by looking for the "io.socket connected successfully." message.
did you try with a / in front of the src, like:
< script src="js/sails.io.js">
Do you have the sails.io.js in the /assets/js/ folder (sails 0.10) or in the /assets/linker/js folder (sails 0.9 and below).
Did sails lift copied that js file to .tmp/public/js folder?
Where is your index.html file located?

Fetch terminal command (Nodejs) and send to specific port via AJAX

I'm actually working on a little application. I have one server written in C which is listening on the port 5260. In the other side I have a NodeJS client which is listening on the port 7777. A HTML page can be reach via this port. In the HTML page I have a simple button.
When I click on this one a message is sent to my NodeJS server and is written on the terminal. Now I would like to fetch this command and send it to my C server which is still running and waiting for a request.
My client.js :
var http = require('http');
var ejs = require('ejs');
var express=require('express');
var app = express();
app.engine('html', ejs.renderFile);
app.set('/', __dirname);
app.get('/', function(request,response) {
response.render('index.ejs.html');
})
var options = {
host: '192.168.1.154',
path: '/',
port: '5260',
method: 'POST'
};
app.post('/play', function(req, res){
var res = http.request(options);
console.log("START_BG;BG1\n");
});
app.listen(7777);
And my HTML file :
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="client.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function sendMessage() {
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('POST', '/play', true);
xhr.onload = function() {
console.log(xhr);
};
xhr.send();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button onclick="sendMessage()">VIDEO</button>
</body>
</html>
Well. I see some strange things in your code
1 You're making the post request to 192.168.1.254:5620/play without sending any data on it
2 You're not waiting fro the request to end and blindly print on your console without checking the result. Don't know if its the desired behaviour, but it seems a bit strange
Without more knowledge about the scenario is difficult to suggest an idea.
What is the answer you expect from the remote server?
It's suposed to print something in the (remote) console ?
What it should return via HTTP ?
Anyway I suggest you correct your code as follows:
app.post('/play', function(req, res){
var res = http.request(options, function(response){
// do any checking about response status and/or body if any
console.log("START_BG;BG1\n");
});
});

AJAX responses messed up in Cordova application on Windows Phone 8.1

We are using Cordova 3.4.0 to develop an app. Everything works fine on Android and iOS and also if we launch our app in a desktop browser. But we are stuck with really strange issue on Windows Phone 8.1.
Here is a simplified code example to test.
index.html in the application root:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Mobile sandbox</title>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<script type="text/javascript" src="libs/jquery/jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="redbox" style="width:100px;height:100px;background-color:red;">
</div>
<div id="greenbox" style="width:100px;height:100px;background-color:green;">
</div>
<script>
$(function () {
alert("Requesting data for redbox...");
$.ajax("test/redText.html")
.done(function (text) {
alert("Filling redbox with contents " + text);
$("#redbox").html(text);
})
.fail(function () {
alert("Error in redbox");
})
.always(function () {
alert("Complete redbox");
});
alert("Requesting data for greenbox...");
$.ajax("test/greenText.html")
.done(function (text) {
alert("Filling greenbox with contents " + text);
$("#greenbox").html(text);
})
.fail(function () {
alert("Error in greenbox");
})
.always(function () {
alert("Complete greenbox");
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
test/greenText.html:
<span>GREEN</span>
test/redText.html:
<span>RED</span>
The only dependency to run this test is jQuery which we have put in libs/jquery/ folder.
Now, if we run this code in every desktop browser and in iOS and Android, no matter if from local folder (with browser flags for local AJAX) or from server, we get the right sequence of alerts and AJAX loads correct data in appropriate boxes:
Requesting data for redbox...
Requesting data for greenbox...
Filling redbox with contents <span>RED</span>
Complete redbox
Filling greenbox with contents <span>GREEN</span>
Complete greenbox
We get the same result if we run the index.html on Windows Phone through its Internet Explorer.
But when we deploy the same code to Windows Phone as Cordova app, strange thing happens. The redbox request never receives any data, nor any errors. The greenbox request receives data of redbox, and thus we have empty red box and green box with text "RED" in it.
Here is the sequence of alerts:
Requesting data for redbox...
Requesting data for greenbox...
Filling greenbox with contents <span>RED</span>
Complete greenbox
What's going on there, why one AJAX request does not return and the other receives wrong response? How do we fix it?
EDIT 1:
Our nest step will be to find out if it's Cordova specific issue (I see there is some XHRHelper object in the Corodva WP8 template) or it's Microsoft's phone:WebBrowser fault.
EDIT 2:
It seems, WebBrowser itself does not support AJAX requests to local files (I got "Access denied") and that's why Cordova invented XHRHelper class. But I found a related bugreport which they closed as "Cannot reproduce":
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4873
Is there any Cordova developer here who could suggest a fix for XHRHelper, so it supports multiple sequential AJAX requests?
Again, I cannot reproduce your results. I quickly put together a version which I will post to the JIRA issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4873
Requesting data for redbox...
Requesting data for greenbox...
Filling redbox with contents
<span>REd</span>
Complete redbox
Filling greenbox with contents
<span>GREEN</span>
Complete greenbox
I modified your source a little just to make sure there were no issues with alert interfering ...
var eventLog = [];
var oneDone = false;
$(function () {
eventLog.push("Requesting data for redbox...");
$.ajax("redText.html")
.done(function (text) {
eventLog.push("Filling redbox with contents " + text);
$("#redbox").html(text);
})
.fail(function (e) {
eventLog.push("Error in redbox" + JSON.stringify(e));
})
.always(function () {
eventLog.push("Complete redbox");
if (oneDone) {
console.log(eventLog.join("\n"));
alert(eventLog.join("\n"));
}
else {
oneDone = true;
}
});
eventLog.push("Requesting data for greenbox...");
$.ajax("greenText.html")
.done(function (text) {
eventLog.push("Filling greenbox with contents " + text);
$("#greenbox").html(text);
})
.fail(function () {
eventLog.push("Error in greenbox");
})
.always(function () {
eventLog.push("Complete greenbox");
if (oneDone) {
console.log(eventLog.join("\n"));
alert(eventLog.join("\n"));
}
else {
oneDone = true;
}
});
});

"Error: Calling parameters do not match signature" when using ajax-jquery in iphone web app

In creating a iphone web app, i used magento XML RPCto call magento web services. With the help of jQuery XML RPC i can access the magento web services.My code,
<script src="js/jquery.mobile-1.2.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/jquery-1.8.3.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/jquery.mobile-1.2.0.min.css"></link>
<script src="js/jquery.xmlrpc.js"></script>
<script>
$(function(){
$("button").click(function(){
$.xmlrpc({
url:"link of my magento/xmlrpc",
methodName:'login',
params:['user','pass'],
success: function(response, status, jqXHR) {
var res=response;
alert(res); // getting alert as session id as login response
$.xmlrpc({
url:"link of my magento/xmlrpc",
methodName:'call',
//passing session id from the previous response
params:{sessionId:res,methodName:'customer.info',customerId:'3'},
success: function(response1, status1, jqXHR1) {alert("success:"+response1);},
error: function(jqXHR1, status1, error1) {alert(error1); }
});
},
error: function(jqXHR, status, error) {alert(error); }
});
});
});
</script>
Here my problem is, when i run the app i get the session id and pass the id to next method "call" with the parameters.This code while executing gives me an error stating "Error: Calling parameters do not match signature"
I changed the way of passing parameters too but no hope. Can anyone suggest me how to solve this problem.
I believe this is a bug.
Take a look at this thread: Calling parameters do not match signature
