Calling an HTTP server

[Amir]

Hi

I am trying to replicate a price of Java code in .NET (the Java code is at
the end of this post).

Basically, I need to send a SOAP message to an HTTP server program (that
happens to be written in Java). I have been Googling for the past 4-5 hours
and found 3-4 samples but non of them seem to work. My latest error is

The remote server returned an error: (405) Method Not Allowed

My .NET code is using the HttpWebRequest, which is very poorly documented by
Microsoft.

Does anyone have sample code for what I am trying to do?

Thanks in advance

------------------------

Here is the Java code (that works)


import java.io.*;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLConnection;

/**
* @version $Revision: 426415 $
*/
public class HttpClient {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

URLConnection connection = new URL(args[0]).openConnection();
connection.setDoOutput(true);
OutputStream os = connection.getOutputStream();

// Post the request file.
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(args[1]);

//Buffer
byte[] buf = new byte[256];
for (int c = fis.read(buf); c != -1; c = fis.read(buf)) {
os.write(buf,0,c);
}
os.close();
fis.close();

// Read the response.
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));
String inputLine;
while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(inputLine);
}
in.close();

}
}

Hiya,

I haven't had to look at accessing a Java web service before, but in the
majority of cases you'd think it should be the same as accessing any other
web service

try searching for examples including "SoapHttpClientProtocol". You should be
able to create a class that inherits from that one, hopefully that should
wrap up any of the SOAP messages you need to send.

Hi Andrew

Thanks for the post.

The HTTP server code is not exposed as a web service. The Java guys are
using the code below to send it a SOAP message. The HTTP server code
processes the SOAP message's payload, takes appropriate action and the
returns a result (in SOAP format).

There is no WSDL etc: I need to work at a lower level which is why I was
looking at the HttpWebRequest class example.

I hope that helps!?!!

Hiya,

So i take it your current code looks something like the following (if you
coded in VB that is) ?

Dim webrReq As HttpWebRequest =
CType(WebRequest.Create("http://www.blahblah.com/"), HttpWebRequest)

Dim strmReq As System.IO.Stream = webrReq .GetRequestStream()

'write some file data to the stream

Dim webresp As HttpWebResponse = myReq.GetResponse()
