one of my old project/app was working fine for years, very recently client report that app does not working any longer due to API response issue.
it's just a get request to an API with some parameters..
till date (before issues occurs) it returns following response:
,,3,1669179307,0,
but recently it shows following response: (note nothing is changed in the source php/code files since project start)

here is curl screenshot:
And here is the postman screenshot:
and when i check the URL in browser it shows the expected result, though when i check the devtool (network tab), it looks like page is loaded two times.. 1st one provide error (HTML/js) response (read marked) 2nd one provide the expected response (green marked), so, it looks like when it's called directly by curl/postman/c#... fails.. but as browser can do redirect it passed.
here is the browser screenshot:
i am sorry, i added several screenshot to give better idea what is happening.
and here is the URL in question:
https://simpleclienttracking.com/membershipmanager/remotelogvisit.php?locID=1&orgID=1&deptID=1&barcode=8346420
now my question, is how can i use the API code/file to get the direct response as i was getting earlier? do i need to pass any header? update/modify server htaccess file or what?
To test the error in deep, i have tried another URL from another hosting provider, in that case i am passing post request to an URL, and this server response slightly different thing, but looks like core is same, redirect!
here is the response from new/another server:
<script>document.cookie = "humans_21909=1"; document.location.reload(true)</script>
so, it's looks like hosting providers has applied some kind of security for direct URL access?
thanks in advance for any upcoming help
best regards

We got the following problem:
I am currently developing a web server implementing a specific API. The association behind that API provided specific test cases I'm using to test my implementation.
One of the test cases is:
5.3.2.12 Robustness, large resource ID
This test confirms correct error handling when sending a HTTP request with a very long location ID as URL parameter.
The url its calling looks something like this:
https://localhost:443/api/v2/functions/be13789-1f1e-47d0-8f8a-000000000005ebe13789-1f1e-47d0-8f8a-000000000005ebe13789-1f1e-47d0-8f8a-000000000005ebe13789-1f1e-47d0-8f8a-000000000005ebe13789-1f1e-47d0-8f8a-000000000005ebe13789-1f1e-47d0-8f8a-000000000005ebe13789-1f1e-47d0-8f8a-000000000005ebe13789-1f1e-47d0-8f8a-000000000005ebe13789-1f1e-47d0-8f8a-000000000005ebe13789-1f1e-47d0-8f8a-000000000005ebe13789-1f1e-47d0-8f8a-000000000005ebe13789-1f1e-47d0-8f8a-000000000005ebe13789-1f1e-47d0-8f8a-000000000005ebe13789-1f1e-47d0-8f8a-000000000005ebe13789-1f1e-47d0-8f8a-000000000005ebe13789-1f1e-47d0-8f8a-000000000005ebe13789-1f1e-47d0-8f8a-000000000005ebe13789-1f1e-47d0-8f8a-000000000005ebe13789-1f1e-47d0-8f8a-000000000005ebe13789-1f1e-47d0-8f8a-000000000005
Basically the tests checks, if my server responds with the correct error code if the URL is too long. (At the time of writing it is testing for Errorcode 405, but I already asked them if it shouldn't be 414)
I'm developing the server in Asp.Net 6 and it always returns Bad Request 400 in the testcase.
I don't seem to find a place to change the handling for this behaviour and I am not even sure, if I can, or if the IIS is blocking the request even before it reaches my server. I activated logging in IIS, but the request does not show in the logfile in inetpub/logs/LogFiles.
My question would be, if it is possible to tell IIS to return a different error code in this case, or if it is even possible to handle the error in my application.
What I tried:
Activating IIS Logs to see if the request is even passed to my site. (It did not)
Tried adding Filters to my Controller to see if I can catch an Exception
Checked, if Development Error Sites are called.
Breakpoints in existing middlewares are not reached.
EDIT:
I am now pretty sure now, that the request never reaches my application.
It is possible to reproduce the error by using the default site the IIS generates on windows. Just copy the whole path from above into a browser with the host http://localhost will also just produce the error 400
EDIT 2:
As #YurongDai pointed out, I tried activating failed request tracing for my IIS Site. I used the default path \logs\FailedReqLogFiles.
The folder was created, but no file is written, when I'm opening the URL above in my browser.
IIS Error 400 occurs when the server is unable to process a request sent to a web server. The most common cause of Bad Request error 400 is an invalid URL, but it can happen for other reasons as well. To resolve IIS Error 400, first make sure that you have entered the URL correctly, typos or disallowed characters in the URL are the most common causes of Bad Request errors. If the error persists after verifying the URL, please clear your browser's cache, DNS cache, and cookies and try again.
Clear your browser's cookies.
Clear your browser's cache.
Clear your DNS cache.(Execute the following command in the command prompt window: ipconfig /flushdns)
I'm trying to get to grips with OneDrive, using this tutorial:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh826529.aspx
When I run in code, it gets as far as the makeAccessTokenRequest function, sending the following requestURL:
"https: //login.live.com/oauth20_token.srf?client_id=[myclientID] &client_secret=[myclientsecret]&redirect_uri=https:// login.live.com/oauth20_desktop.srf&grant_type=authorization_code&code=[authcode]"
(please ignore the spaces after "https:", I had to add them here to allow the question)
[myclientid], [myclientsecret], and [authcode] all appear to be populated correctly. It seems to get a response, as it runs the function "accessToken_DownloadStringCompleted", but throws a "TargetInvocationException" error, The inner message of the error is ""The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.".
Could anyone throw any light on this? I'm completely new to this, so apologies if my question makes no sense, or is irritatingly vague..
Requests to the oauth20_token.srf end point need to be a POST with the parameters in the body of the post, instead of the query string. Since you didn't mention what code you're using to build the HTTP request it's hard to provide an example, but take a look at RedeemAuthorizationCodeAsync in my sample OAuth 2 project for an idea.
The outgoing request should look like this:
POST https://login.live.com/oauth20_token.srf
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
client_id={client_id}&redirect_uri={redirect_uri}&client_secret={client_secret}&code={code}&grant_type=authorization_code
You may also find this tutorial easier to follow than the one you linked with: https://dev.onedrive.com/auth/msa_oauth.htm.
If you are doing something with OneDrive (you tagged the post OneDrive) then you may want to consider using the OneDrive SDK instead. It includes authentication for several types of .NET projects so you don't need to figure out how to do auth yourself.
Two aspx pages are involved with the problem. in one form I am collecting the entity and binding it in a session variable and then with button clicked, I am trying to get to the other aspx page with response.redirect("") method. But, the problem is its gives me an error message with a strange URl.
let me show you the code I have writen
formSaleMoneyReceiptEntity = ViewFormSaleMoneyReceipt_DAO.GetMoneyReceiptByFormSL(formSl);
Session["MoneyReceipt"] = formSaleMoneyReceiptEntity;
Response.Redirect("~/Reports/MoneyRepeiptFormReport.aspx",false);
I am using local host and the URl I am getting is that
http://www.google-feed.net/results.php?q=localhost 5808 StudentManagement FormSaleMoneyReceipt aspx &cx=002904446094441487865%3Ate-nlsbrcdy&cof=FORID%3A10&ie=UTF-8&said=&do=search&empty=0&from=2&CID=1
why is this so? I don't have any idea. Please help me out.
It looks like the URL that is passed to the browser doesn't exist, so you're getting a redirect to a Google search page instead.
Is it ~/Reports/MoneyReceiptFormReport.aspx by any chance?
A good tool to use to debug this kind of situation is Fiddler. This sits as a proxy between your Web server and your browser and issues a trace of what requests and responses are made. Browsers have a habit of reformatting error messages, Fiddler will show you exactly what's sent to the server and what comes back.
I created a simple page using the code provided by this page (the first sample):
http://www.dotnetopenauth.net/developers/code-snippets/programmatic-openid-relying-party/
But I can't seem to get it to work, I can redirect to the provider but when the provider redirects back to my page, I get error 500, "The request was rejected by the HTTP filter".
I already checked ISAPI filters which I have none.
I've never seen that error before. Is this page hosted by the Visual Studio Personal Web Server (Casini) or IIS? I suspect you have an HTTP filter installed in IIS (or perhaps your web.config file) that is rejecting the incoming message for some reason.
Note that you need to turn off ASP.NET's default page request validation on any page that can receive an OpenID authentication response because those responses can include character sequences that look like HTML/Javascript-injection attacks but in fact is harmless.
I discovered that I'm using Isa in the server, so I just followed this instructions to get it working.

I am getting this error:
Client found response content type of 'text/html', but expected 'text/xml.
I am adding web reference for live search. When i build the project its Successful. But after that once i enter some text in textbox & enter search button it gives this error. I am Using my local machine & Using .net 2.0 with C#.
Plz help me...
Thanks In Advance...
As Matt said, it's probably an error page coming back.
Either use a proxy like Fiddler or a network sniffer like WireShark to see what the raw response is - that should help you get to the bottom of what's going on.
Generally that error means that the service has sent back an (HTML) error message rather than the XML SOAP response that your client was expecting.
For web services that you control it's really easy to find the problem, because you can invoke the webmethods by hand in your browser. To diagnose it when it's someone else's service is a little trickier. You might be able to trace into the code for your web reference and inspect the text of the response before the exception is thrown.
I have found Fiddler to be highly useful in debugging http client server issues.
It is a proxy that allows you to intercept and even change the content of the request and response.
In your actual code, replace the line:
searchRequest.AppID = "APP ID you generated from ...";
with the actual AppID, which should be a long alpha-numeric sequence.
