How Create Get and Post Methods for the Login Page in wcf service in c#

I am creating a WCF service in ASP.NET and there i need to implement Get and Post Methods for simple Login page
This is for running the application on Local host.I have SQL server for the database.
C#:
This is the interface I have coded:
[ServiceContract]
public interface ILogin
{
[OperationContract(Name = "PostUserDetails")]
[WebInvoke(Method = "POST",UriTemplate = "")]
string UserName(Stream data);
string UserPassword(Stream data);
[OperationContract(Name = "GetUserDetails")]
[WebGet(UriTemplate = "GetUserDetails/inputStr/{name}")]
string UserName(string name);
string UserPassword(string name);
}
This is the class I have coded:
public class Login :ILogin
{
public string UserName(Stream data)
{
StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(data);
string xmlString = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
string returnValue = xmlString;
return returnValue;
}
public string UserPassword(Stream data)
{
StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(data);
string xmlString = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
string returnValue = xmlString;
return returnValue;
}
public string UserName(string strUserName)
{
StringBuilder strReturnValue = new StringBuilder();
// return username prefixed as shown below
strReturnValue.Append(string.Format("You have entered userName as {0}", strUserName));
return strReturnValue.ToString();
}
public string UserPassword(string strUserName)
{
StringBuilder strReturnValue = new StringBuilder();
// return username prefixed as shown below
strReturnValue.Append(string.Format("You have entered userName as {0}", strUserName));
return strReturnValue.ToString();
}
}
I have also configured the web.config as:
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="MyWCFService.Login" behaviourConfiguration ="loginbehaviour" >
<endpoint name="webHttpBinding" address="" binding="webHttpBinding" contract="MyWCFService.ILogin" behaviorConfiguration="webHttp">

I am getting HTTP Error 404.7 - Not Found Error

First of all you cant use Stream as your input. because stream con not serialized. then you don't need to create two separate methods. create login like this and use * as your Method. something like this:
[OperationContract(Name = "PostUserDetails")]
[WebInvoke(Method = "*",UriTemplate = "")]
string UserName(Data data);
string UserPassword(Data data);

WCF REST Service - HTTP 404 error while execution

I am using WCF REST service with basic authentication(UserName / Password) in IIS.
My interface - ICustomer.cs is as below:
namespace SampleService
{
[ServiceContract]
public interface ICustomer
{
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method = "GET",
RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
UriTemplate = "/Customer/{email}")]
string GetCustomerID(string email);
}
}
Customer.svc is as below:
<%# ServiceHost Language="C#" Debug="true" Service="SampleService.Customer" CodeBehind="Customer.svc.cs" %>
Customer.svc.cs:
namespace SampleService
{
public class Customer : ICustomer
{
public string GetCustomerID(string strEmail)
{
string returnJsonString = bllContactDetails.GetCustomerID(strEmail).ToString(Formatting.None);
WebOperationContext customContext;
customContext = Utility.General.SetCustomHttpStatusCode(returnJsonString);
return returnJsonString;
}
}
public class RestAuthorizationManager : ServiceAuthorizationManager
{
protected override bool CheckAccessCore(OperationContext operationContext)
{
//Extract the Authorization header, and parse out the credentials converting the Base64 string:
var authHeader = WebOperationContext.Current.IncomingRequest.Headers["Authorization"];
if ((authHeader != null) && (authHeader != string.Empty))
{
var svcCredentials = System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII
.GetString(Convert.FromBase64String(authHeader.Substring(6)))
.Split(':');
var user = new { Name = svcCredentials[0], Password = svcCredentials[1] };
if ((user.Name == "testuser" && user.Password == "testpassword"))
{
//User is authrized and originating call will proceed
return true;
}
else
{
//not authorized
return false;
}
}
else
{
//No authorization header was provided, so challenge the client to provide before proceeding:
WebOperationContext.Current.OutgoingResponse.Headers.Add("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"MyWCFService\"");
//Throw an exception with the associated HTTP status code equivalent to HTTP status 401
throw new WebFaultException(HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized);
}
}
}
}
I have added Web.Config as below:
<system.serviceModel>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="ServiceBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"
httpsGetEnabled="true"/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/>
<serviceAuthorization serviceAuthorizationManagerType=" SampleService.RestAuthorizationManager, SampleService"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="webHttpServiceBehavior">
<!-- Important this is the behavior that makes a normal WCF service to REST based service-->
<webHttp/>
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<services>
<service name="SampleService.Customer" behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehavior">
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="https://192.168.0.122:443/" />
</baseAddresses>
</host>
<endpoint binding="webHttpBinding" contract="SampleService.ICustomer" behaviorConfiguration="webHttpServiceBehavior" />
</service>
</services>
</system.serviceModel>
I have created Custom SSL and also enabled Basic Authentication in IIS.
When view my IIS hosted WCF service in browser it shows all the list of services.
But when I try to get data using Customer.svc method it is throwing error as below:
HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its
dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is
temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make
sure that it is spelled correctly.
Please find
Also, please let me know if it is the correct binding I'm using for obtaining Basic Authentication.

How to use HTTPS with WCF SessionMode.Required - simplest possible example

UPDATE (8/7/2014) - The solution to this problem was that I needed to add a class that derived from "UserNamePasswordValidator" and register it in Web.Config.
I have created a simple test WCF service and test console client application (see below for code). I am using .NET 4.5.1. I have already searched for duplicates on StackOverflow (found similar posts here and here) - however I feel that the referenced posts are potentially outdated, and also feel that my post is more limited in scope.
OK now for the example:
The solution currently uses sessions (in ITestService.cs):
[ServiceContract(SessionMode = SessionMode.Required)]
... and uses wsHttpBinding (see below app.config and web.config).
When I deploy this to a server, I am successfully able to access it via a web browser using HTTPS like this: https://myserver.com/test/testservice.svc
However, when I change the endpoint in the client app.config from:
http://localhost:20616/TestService.svc/TestService.svc
to:
https://myserver.com/test/testservice.svc
and run the console application again, I receive the error: "The provided URI scheme 'https' is invalid; expected 'http'. Parameter name: via"
My question is, what is the minimum changes I need to make for this to work, without changing SessionMode.Required?
Here is the client console application code. Please be sure to change the App.Config value for "mycomputer\Matt" to the correct value for your machine.
Program.cs
using System;
namespace TestClient
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.Clear();
Console.WriteLine("Attempting to log in...");
try
{
TestServiceReference.TestServiceClient client = new TestServiceReference.TestServiceClient();
bool loginSuccess = client.LogIn("admin", "password");
if (loginSuccess)
{
Console.WriteLine("Successfully logged in.");
string secretMessage = client.GetSecretData();
Console.WriteLine("Retrieved secret message: " + secretMessage);
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Log in failed!");
}
}
catch (Exception exc)
{
Console.WriteLine("Exception occurred: " + exc.Message);
}
Console.WriteLine("Press ENTER to quit.");
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}

The solution to this problem was that I needed to add a class that derived from "UserNamePasswordValidator" and register it in Web.Config.
public class CustomUserNameValidator : UserNamePasswordValidator
{
public override void Validate(string userName, string password)
{
return;
}
}
Web.config:
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior>
<!-- To avoid disclosing metadata information, set the values below to false before deployment -->
<serviceMetadata httpsGetEnabled="true" />
<!-- To receive exception details in faults for debugging purposes, set the value below to true. Set to false before deployment to avoid disclosing exception information -->
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
<serviceCredentials>
<userNameAuthentication userNamePasswordValidationMode="Custom" customUserNamePasswordValidatorType="MyProgram.CustomUserNameValidator,MyProgram" />
</serviceCredentials>

Upload image as stream with other parameters WCF

I am trying to save an image in a database through a WCF. This is my code.
public void saveImage(Stream stream, string size)
{
//int intsize = Convert.ToInt32(size);
byte[] buffer = new byte[10000];
int bytesRead, totalBytesRead = 0;
string encodedData = "";
do
{
bytesRead = stream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
encodedData = encodedData + Convert.ToBase64String(buffer,
Base64FormattingOptions.InsertLineBreaks);
totalBytesRead += bytesRead;
} while (bytesRead > 0);
And this is the contract.
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method = "POST", UriTemplate = "SaveImage/{size}")]
void saveImage(Stream stream, string size);
And finally this is part of my config file
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service behaviorConfiguration="RestServiceBehavior" name="ABBStreamService.ABBConnectStreamWCF">
<endpoint address="" behaviorConfiguration="web" binding="webHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="webHttpBinding" contract="ABBStreamService.IABBConnectStreamWCF" />
</service>
</services>
<bindings>
<webHttpBinding>
<binding name="webHttpBinding" transferMode="Streamed" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" maxBufferSize="10485760" closeTimeout="00:01:00" openTimeout="00:01:00"
receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00">
<readerQuotas maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxArrayLength="1000000" />
</binding>
</webHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="RestServiceBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" />

</behaviors>
<protocolMapping>
<add binding="basicHttpsBinding" scheme="https" />
</protocolMapping>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
</system.serviceModel>
When i try to run the service with only the Stream as parameter, it works. But when i try to add another parameter it fails.

You could add a header to the request then read that in the service.
//Javascript to set the header
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
var image = document.getElementById("yourFileInput").files[0];
xhr.setRequestHeader('size', image.size);
//C# in your service method to read the size header
IncomingWebRequestContext request = WebOperationContext.Current.IncomingRequest;
var headers = request.Headers;
string size = headers["size"];

I know i am late but this will be useful for searchers.
Send your file in body and rest of parameters in header of request.
following sample code is tested in Post man and working like a charm.
your Interface
[WebInvoke(
Method = "POST",
RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
UriTemplate = "PostImage")]
void PostImage(Stream stream);
.svc Method:
public void PostImage(Stream stream)
{
// get image from stream and implement your logic
var headers = OperationContext.Current.IncomingMessageProperties["httpRequest"];
// other parameters will be accessible here e.g image name etc
var imgname = ((HttpRequestMessageProperty)headers).Headers["imgname"];
}

UNABLE to POST data to WCF from Android

I'm trying to send data to WCF service from an Android Application but somehow the service doesn't seems to be call through the android. I received a STATUSCODE value = 500 through adnroid in LOGCAT (which means the Internal Server Error) I go through the source code 100 times but didn't figure out the Bug. and almost checked all the posts related to my problem but still didn't get any solution.
HERE IS THS CODE
Android Code:
private class sendPostData extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String>
{
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
HttpPost request = new HttpPost( LOGIN_SERVICE_URL + "/MyCar");
request.setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
request.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");
JSONStringer getCarInfo;
try {
getCarInfo = new JSONStringer()
.object()
.key("myCar")
.object()
.key("Name").value(edt_carName.getText().toString())
.key("Make").value(edt_carMake.getText().toString())
.key("Model").value(edt_carModel.getText().toString())
.endObject()
.endObject();
StringEntity entity = new StringEntity(getCarInfo.toString());
request.setEntity(entity);
// Send request to WCF service
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(request);
Log.d("WebInvoke", "Saving : " + response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode());
}
catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
txt_verif.setText("Success");
}
}
everything is working fine in android code except calling the WCF service. I Debug the code several times and received statuscode = 500
HERE is the WCF Service
Service.cs
public class Service1 : IService1
{
public void UpdateMyCar(myCar myCar) {
string strConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["Database1"].ConnectionString;
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(strConnectionString);
conn.Open();
using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Insert into TestingTable (Name,Make,Model) Values (#Name,#Make,#Model)", conn)) {
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Name", myCar.Name);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Make", myCar.Make);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Model", myCar.Model);
int queryResult = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
} conn.Close();
}
LogCat

this service is also publish on IIS. and I also checked that service with google chrome extension SIMPLE REST CLIENT and received an internal server error

The problem is your host name doesn't match what you are using from the phone.
You can turn off address filter to fix this temporarily:
[ServiceBehavior(AddressFilterMode=AddressFilterMode.Any)]
public class Service1 : IService1
{
....
}
But you should fix the hostname when you release to production

Create a domain in your machine with proper port number and make sure you are able to call the service using the Google's Rest client.If it works,then you won't find any issue if you call the same using your android phone.
Following article will help to setup virtual directory with proper port number.[http://www.hosting.com/support/iis7/create-new-sites-in-iis-7/]
Note you can't call localhost directly from your mobile.atleast try to call the service with ipaddress.[http://localhost/service/mycar] =>[http://DemoService/service/mycar]

The following code will help you to debug your code a little bit deep.
catch (Exception ex)
{
WebException webexception = (WebException)ex;
var responseresult = webexception.Response as HttpWebResponse;
//Code to debug Http Response
var responseStream = webexception.Response.GetResponseStream();
string fault_message = string.Empty;
int lastNum = 0;
do
{
lastNum = responseStream.ReadByte();
fault_message += (char)lastNum;
} while (lastNum != -1);
responseStream.Close();
}

Never mind, I have made several changes in web.config file and got the solution. <endpointBehaviors> tag was missing in my case and several other things. here is the updated code of web.config file.
