308 permanent redirect with uploading PDF to REST API

I want to upload PDF to CrossEngage platform using HttpWebRequest or RestClient. As response I'm getting : 308 permanent redirect, but when i try this on POSTMAN all is fine (200 OK). What i'm not doing that POSTMAN is doing ?
//RestClient
byte[] dataBytes = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(path);
string converted = Convert.ToBase64String(dataBytes);
var client = new RestClient(Url+Action);
client.FollowRedirects = true;
var request = new RestRequest(Method.GET);
request.AddHeader("cache-control", "no-cache");
request.AddHeader("x-xng-authtoken", AuthToken);
request.AddHeader("x-xng-apiversion", "2");
request.AddHeader("content-type", "application/pdf");
request.AddParameter("application/pdf", converted, ParameterType.RequestBody);
IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);
return response.Content;
//HttpWebRequest
try
{
byte[] dataBytes = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(path);
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(Url + Action);
//request.AutomaticDecompression = DecompressionMethods.GZip | DecompressionMethods.Deflate;
request.Headers.Add("X-XNG-ApiVersion", "2");
request.Headers.Add("X-XNG-AuthToken", AuthToken);
request.Method = method;
request.AllowAutoRedirect = true;
request.MaximumAutomaticRedirections = 1;
request.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
request.PreAuthenticate = true;
request.ContentLength = 0;
request.CookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
if (1 == 1)
{
request.ContentLength = dataBytes.Length;
request.ContentType = contentType;
using (Stream requestBody = request.GetRequestStream())
{
requestBody.Write(dataBytes, 0, dataBytes.Length);
}
}
using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
using (Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream())
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream))
{
return reader.ReadToEnd();
}
}
catch (WebException webex)
{
string m = "";
using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)webex.Response)
using (Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream())
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream))
{
throw new Exception(reader.ReadToEnd());
}
}
I expect 200 OK status code
Thanks in advance
UPDATE: I have found a solution so it might help someone.
Simply you need to call location given in Location response header.
Hereby complete code :
try
{
byte[] dataBytes = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(path);
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(Url + Action);
//request.AutomaticDecompression = DecompressionMethods.GZip | DecompressionMethods.Deflate;
request.Headers.Add("X-XNG-ApiVersion", "2");
request.Headers.Add("X-XNG-AuthToken", AuthToken);
request.Method = method;
request.AllowAutoRedirect = false;
if (1 == 1)
{
request.ContentLength = dataBytes.Length;
request.ContentType = contentType;
using (Stream requestBody = request.GetRequestStream())
{
requestBody.Write(dataBytes, 0, dataBytes.Length);
}
}
using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
{
if ((int)response.StatusCode >= 300 && (int)response.StatusCode <= 399)
{
var uriString = response.Headers["Location"];
var apiClient = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uriString);
apiClient.ContentType = contentType;
apiClient.Method = method;
apiClient.AllowAutoRedirect = false;
apiClient.Accept = "*/*";
apiClient.Headers.Add("X-XNG-ApiVersion", "2");
apiClient.Headers.Add("X-XNG-AuthToken", AuthToken);
apiClient.ContentLength = dataBytes.Length;
using (Stream requestBody = apiClient.GetRequestStream())
{
requestBody.Write(dataBytes, 0, dataBytes.Length);
}
var r = apiClient.GetResponse();
}
response.Close();
}
return "";
}
catch (WebException webex)
{
string m = "";
using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)webex.Response)
using (Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream())
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream))
{
throw new Exception(reader.ReadToEnd());
}

Login into iCloud via Json Post request

I'm trying to log in into iCloud using a Json Post request in C#. Before trying to implement the code I was studying a little bit the iCloud requests using Chrome Console and using an Ad-on to replicate the requests in order to obtain the same result of the website.
First of All I checked the request directly from iCloud website:
And this is the response:
{
"serviceErrors" : [ {
"code" : "-20101",
"message" : "Il tuo ID Apple o la password non sono corretti."
} ]
}
Using "Advance REST Client" ad Chrome plugin to replicate the request I ve tried the same Json request to the same Url. But I get Empty response:
I Also tried to copy and paste the whole Header (All the settings) and than send the request but the response is the same:
Anyone has an Advice?
UPDATE: I tried to implement A Json request through c# program:
var httpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://idmsa.apple.com/appleauth/auth/signin");
httpWebRequest.ContentType = "application/json";
httpWebRequest.Method = "POST";
using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(httpWebRequest.GetRequestStream()))
{
string json = "{accountName: \"briesanji #gmail.com\", password: \"testPassword\", rememberMe: false, trustTokens: []}";
streamWriter.Write(json);
streamWriter.Flush();
streamWriter.Close();
}
var httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse();
using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(httpResponse.GetResponseStream()))
{
var result = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
}
The problem is that Execution breaks when the
var httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse();
is hit and it gives me this error: System.Net.WebException: 'Error Remote Server: (400) Request not valid.'
UPDATE: I solved in this way:
void POST(string url, string jsonContent)
{
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
request.Method = "POST";
System.Text.UTF8Encoding encoding = new System.Text.UTF8Encoding();
Byte[] byteArray = encoding.GetBytes(jsonContent);
request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
request.ContentType = #"application/json";
using (Stream dataStream = request.GetRequestStream())
{
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
}
long length = 0;
try
{
using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
{
length = response.ContentLength;
}
}
catch (WebException ex)
{
// Log exception and throw as for GET example above
}
}
string GET(string url)
{
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
try
{
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
using (Stream responseStream = response.GetResponseStream())
{
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(responseStream, Encoding.UTF8);
return reader.ReadToEnd();
}
}
catch (WebException ex)
{
WebResponse errorResponse = ex.Response;
using (Stream responseStream = errorResponse.GetResponseStream())
{
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(responseStream, Encoding.GetEncoding("utf-8"));
String errorText = reader.ReadToEnd();
// log errorText
}
throw;
}
}
Anyways I tested also the Answer and it was good to.. So I check it as valid thanks.

With this i dont get any error and the response content of the second request just tells me that there were too many failed logins for the test account...

How to post video properties with youtube-data-api on c#

I try to upload videos to my youtube account with youtube api v3 on asp.net. I searched a lot but didn't find any code sample to do this. Actually now i can upload videos somehow but i can't give name, description etc. to my videos. Here's my code which i use to upload my videos.
Uri uri = new Uri("https://www.googleapis.com/upload/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet");
WebClient wc = new WebClient();
wc.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Bearer {access_token}");
byte[] file = File.ReadAllBytes(Server.MapPath("/videos/test.mp4"));
byte[] response = wc.UploadData(uri, file);
string jSonResult = String.Format("\nResult received was {0}",
Encoding.ASCII.GetString(response));
return jSonResult;

Don't know if you already found a solution.
But this code works on my machine! ;)
byte[] jsonBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(json);
//byte[] file = File.ReadAllBytes(videoFilePath);
using (var fileStream = new FileStream(videoFilePath, FileMode.Open))
{
Uri uri = new Uri("https://www.googleapis.com/upload/youtube/v3/videos?uploadType=resumable&part=snippet,status");
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create(uri);
request.Method = "POST";
request.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.Authorization, "Bearer " + authToken);
request.ContentLength = jsonBytes.Length;
request.ContentType = "application/json; charset=utf-8";
request.Headers.Add("X-Upload-Content-Length", fileStream.Length.ToString());
request.Headers.Add("X-Upload-Content-Type", "video/*");
string location = string.Empty;
using (Stream dataStream = request.GetRequestStream())
{
dataStream.Write(jsonBytes, 0, jsonBytes.Length);
}
try
{
using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse) request.GetResponse())
{
location = response.Headers["Location"];
}
}
catch (WebException ex)
{
Response.Write(ex.ToString());
}
request = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create(location);
request.Method = "PUT";
request.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.Authorization, "Bearer " + authToken);
request.ContentLength = fileStream.Length;
request.ContentType = "video/*";
using (Stream dataStream = request.GetRequestStream())
{
byte[] buffer = new byte[fileStream.Length];
var data = fileStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
dataStream.Write(buffer, 0, data);
//dataStream.Write(file, 0, file.Length);
}
try
{
using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse) request.GetResponse())
{
}
}
