I have been trying to write a simple ftp client using c# in .NET 2.0 for 3 days now and am
missing something. I I create an ftpWebRequest object and set all its properies.
string uri = host + remoteFile;
System.Net.FtpWebRequest ftp = (FtpWebRequest)(FtpWebRequest.Create(uri));
ftp.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(username, password);
ftp.KeepAlive = false;
ftp.UseBinary = true;
ftp.Method = System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
But when I go to get the stream, it fails...
System.IO.Stream strm = ftp.GetRequestStream();
Here is the error: "System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (501) Syntax error in parameters or arguments."
This method SHOULD return the stream I need to write to and many examples do exactly this. I'm not sure what I'm missing. My host looks like this: "ftp://myhostname/" and I've triple checked my credentials.
Please help!
may be ftp.UseBinary = true; is not supported by server?
You are missing the "/" after the host:
string uri = host + "/" + remoteFile;
and the remote file string should look like this: file.txt without any path.

I tried creating a method in Postman and got really close but am having issues with the signature. We are trying to query the IP ranges for VPCs to add to a WAF rule, in order to allow traffic to a secure application.
Postman allows a pre-request script, in Javascript, and supports a handful of included JS libraries, including CryptoJS.
The code here creates exactly the request that Ali Cloud says needs to be signed. It signs with HMAC-SHA1 from CryptoJS and encodes to base 64.
All of the variables are included in the request parameters. I'm not sure what else it could be complaining about.
var dateIso = new Date().toISOString();
var randomString = function(length) {
var text = "";
var possible = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789";
for(var i = 0; i < length; i++) {
text += possible.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * possible.length));
}
return text;
}
var accesskeyid = "LTAI4GC7VEijsm5bV3zwcZxZ"
var action = "DescribePublicIPAddress"
var format = "XML"
var regionid = "cn-shanghai-eu13-a01"
var signaturemethod = "HMAC-SHA1"
var signaturenonce = randomString(16)
var signatureversion = "1.0"
var timestamp = dateIso.replace(/:/gi, "%253A")
var version = "2016-04-28"
pm.environment.set("AccessKeyId", accesskeyid)
pm.environment.set("Action", action)
pm.environment.set("Format", format)
pm.environment.set("RegionID", regionid)
pm.environment.set("SignatureMethod", signaturemethod)
pm.environment.set("SignatureNonce", signaturenonce)
pm.environment.set("SignatureVersion", signatureversion)
pm.environment.set("Timestamp", dateIso)
pm.environment.set("Version", version)
var request = "GET&%2F&" + "AccessKeyID%3D" + accesskeyid + "%26Action%3D" + action + "%26Format%3D" + format + "%26RegionID%3D" + regionid + "%26SignatureMethod%3D" + signaturemethod + "%26SignatureNonce%3D" + signaturenonce + "%26SignatureVersion%3D" + signatureversion + "%26Timestamp%3D" + timestamp + "%26Version%3D" + version
pm.environment.set("Request", request)
var hash = CryptoJS.HmacSHA1(request, "spwH5dNeEm4t4dlpqvYWVGgf7aEAxB&")
var base64 = CryptoJS.enc.Base64.stringify(hash)
var encodesig = encodeURIComponent(base64)
pm.environment.set("Signature", encodesig);
console.log(base64)
console.log(request)
The console output shows:

When I check the "server string to sign" from the response and the parameter string that was signed in a compare, they are identical.
It looks like everything is built as needed but the signature is still barking. Guessing I missed something simple but haven't found it yet.
Note: The accesskeyID and key posted are for example purposes and not a real account so this code will not copy and paste to execute in Postman.
PS - I learned quite a bit from the other few threads on this topic, which is how I got to this point. akostadinov was super helpful on another thread.
I believe you have double encoded &. I have implemented other Alibaba Cloud REST APIs successfully. Could you please check this.
Following is the expected string to sign format:
GET&%2F&AccessKeyId%3Dtestid&Action%3DDescribeVpcs&Format%3DXML&
SignatureMethod%3DHMAC-SHA1&SignatureNonce%3D3ee8c1b8-83d3-44af-a94f-4e0ad82fd6cf&SignatureVersion%3D1.0&TimeStamp%3D2016-02-23T12%253A46%
253A24Z&Version%3D2014-05-15
A bit late to the party, but as this is the first result when googling for the IncompleteSignature error, I thought I might comment and hopefully save someone else the grief I have been through.
For me, the subtle detail that I missed in the official documentation here is that the key used for the signature requires an ampersand & to be added to the end, before being used.
As soon as I caught that, everything else worked perfectly.
I have an endpoint that downloads an xlsx file. In my test, I need to check the content of the file (not comparing the file with another file, but reading the content and checking). I am using karate framework for testing and I am trying to use apache POI for working with the excel sheet. However, the response I get from karate when calling the download endpoint is a String. For creating an excel file with POI I need an InputStream or the path to the actual file. I have tried the conversion, but it does not work.
I guess I am missing some connection here, or maybe the conversion is bad, I am new to karate and to the whole thing.
I appreciate any help, thanks!
Given url baseUrl
Given path downloadURI
When method GET
Then status 200
And match header Content-disposition contains 'attachment'
And match header Content-disposition contains 'example.xlsx'
And match header Content-Type == 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet'
* def value= FileChecker.createExcelFile(response)
* print value
And the Java code:
public static String createExcelFile(String excel) throws IOException, InvalidFormatException {
InputStream stream = IOUtils.toInputStream(excel, Charset.forName("UTF-8"));
Workbook workbook = WorkbookFactory.create(stream);
return ("Workbook has " + workbook.getNumberOfSheets() + " Sheets : ");
}
When running the scenario, I get the following error:
javascript evaluation failed: FileChecker.createExcelFile(response), java.io.IOException: Failed to read zip entry source
When testing the same endpoint in Postman, I am getting a valid excelsheet.
In Karate 0.9.X onwards you have a responseBytes variable which will be raw bytes, which may be what you need.
* def value = FileChecker.createExcelFile(responseBytes)
And you can change your method signature to be:
public static String createExcelFile(byte[] excel) {}
You should be easily able to convert a byte array to an InputStream and take it from there.
P.S. just saying that it "works in Postman" is not helpful :P
TO download zip file from Karate tests as binary bite array
Scenario: To verify and get the ADCI Uri from deployment
Given url basicURL + DeployUri +ArtifactUri
And headers {authorization:'#(authToken)',accept:'application/json',tenant:'#(tenantUUId)',Content-Type:'application/zip'}
When method get
Then status 200
And def responsebytes = responseBytes
I make a http request for the below URL :
I got below err msg:
Optional (Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain code = 256)
The file image could not be opened.
File URL
code
let myURLString ="http://portal-webserver-xxx-1025638813.ap-southeast-1.xxx.amazonaws.com/smart/images/xxx.html "
let myURL = NSURL(string:myURLString)
let myHTML :NSString?
myHMTL = NSString(contentsOfURL:myURL!,encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding)
I want to get the HTML file from the url. The code is using older swift version, what I need to use. please help.
Thanks.
I'm trying to query my Server 2012 Essentials R2 server to determine the most recent Client Backup time for a given Device, so I can display nag screens at signon for forgetful users. (They're on laptops, so I can't depend on the machine being available during the automatic window.)
The closest thing in the way of documentation I've been able to find is this: (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj713757.aspx)
GET services/builtin/DeviceManagement.svc/devices/index/{index}/count/{count}
But it requires a preceding call to get the token: (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj713753.aspx)
GET https://www.contoso.com/services/builtin/session.svc/login HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Host: servername
Authorization: Basic VXNlcjpQYXNzd29yZCE=
AppName: Sample App Name
AppPublisher: publisher
AppVersion: 1.0
Does anyone know what the values for those last three headers should be—or how to discover them—for a standard WSE 2012 R2 installation? The documentation provides no assistance here.
Or if someone knows a better way to accomplish this, please let me know.
OK, I got it working. The code is below.
As it turns out, the value of the AppName header is irrelevant—it can be any string, but it can't be empty.
I already knew it couldn't be empty from a look at the WSE source in Wssg.WebApi.Framework in the GAC, but the code is decoupled to the point that it's next to impossible to find out what process picks up the the RemoteConnectionClientInfo object once it gets dropped into the HTTP session.
The part that was misleading me was—go figure—the documentation itself.
There's a bang (!) after the password on the Authentication page, suggesting that it should trail the actual password prior to encoding. This was why I was getting an authentication error, which in turn I was (mistakenly) attributing to the statement in the documentation: "Add Appname, Apppublisher, and Appversion values in HTTP header fields. These values are also required to log on."
So once I cleared all that up, I sailed right in.
And there are other errors in the documentation. On the Devices page we are told that the Host header should be set to the domain name, and that a Content-Length header should be added.
These are both incorrect. The Host header should be the server's hostname and there should be no Content-Length header (that's a response header, not a request header).
AND...! After all this, I find that the Device info returned doesn't contain the most recent backup time. I'll have to dig further for that. But at least now I can connect.
So Microsoft's incomplete, inaccurate and sloppy documentation has cost me a day's work. Hopefully somebody else can use this and avoid the pain I went through.

I am building an iOS app with Swift2.0, XCode 7.2
I am trying to make an api call to:
htttp://xyz.com/t/restaurants-us?KEY=someKey&filters={"locality":{"$eq":"miami"}}
let endPoint:String = "htttp://xyz.com/t/restaurants-us?KEY=someKey&filters={%22locality%22:{%22$eq%22:%22miami%22}}"
When I try to create an URL using this string(endPoint):
let url = NSURL(string: endPoint), a nil is returned.
So I tried encoding the string before trying to create URL:
let encodedString = endPoint.stringByAddingPercentEncodingWithAllowedCharacters(NSCharacterSet.URLQueryAllowedCharacterSet())
Now the encodedString:
"htttp://xyz.com/t/restaurants-us?KEY=someKey&filters=%7B%2522locality%2522:%7B%2522$eq%2522:%2522miami%2522%7D%7D"
But now when i create a NSURL session and send the request, I get an unexpected response from the server:
Reply from server:
{
"error_type" = InvalidJsonArgument;
message = "Parameter 'filters' contains an error in its JSON syntax. For documentation, please see: http://developer.factual.com.";
status = error;
version = 3;
}
So if I don't encode the string, I will not be able to create NSURL.
But if I encode and send the request, the server is not able to handle the request.
Can anyone please suggest a workaround.
When you declare endpoint, you have already percent-encoded some characters (the quotes). When you ask iOS to percent-encode it, it percent-encodes the percent-encodes. Decoding the encodedString results in:
htttp://xyz.com/t/restaurants-us?KEY=someKey&filters={%22locality%22:{%22$eq%22:%22miami%22}}
Instead, you should start with actual quotes in endpoint:
let endPoint:String = "htttp://xyz.com/t/restaurants-us?KEY=someKey&filters={\"locality\":{\"$eq\":\"miami\"}}"
