C# HttpWebRequest timing out from USA IPs, fine in browsers

I am struggling with web requests to some websites like (mrporter.com or size.co.uk). Outside USA (so no USA IPs), I can make requests just fine. However once I am behind USA IP, requests either time out or end up with "A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond" exception. I have tried all kind of headers combinations, still no luck. I need to note, that those websites are opening in browsers just fine.
This is my implementation that works with non-USA ips.
var _request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://www.mrporter.com");
_request.CookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
_request.UserAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/55.0.2883.87 Safari/537.36";
_request.KeepAlive = true;
_request.AutomaticDecompression = (DecompressionMethods.GZip | DecompressionMethods.Deflate);
_request.Headers.Add("Accept-Encoding", "gzip, deflate");
_request.Headers.Add("Accept-Language", "en-GB, en-US; q=0.9, en; q=0.8");
_request.Headers.Add("Upgrade-Insecure-Requests", "1");
var _srr = "";
using (var response = _request.GetResponse())
{
var httpWebResponse = response.GetResponseStream();
using (var sr = new StreamReader(httpWebResponse))
{
_srr = sr.ReadToEnd();
}
}
Anybody can help? I seriously wasted hours with it with no result ...

This is the procedure used test the Server you mentioned (https://www.mrporter.com/)
The main method can be called this way:
(The StreamObject class returns a number of informations about the Server, including the Html of the landing page. (Also its Cookies, IP Address etc.)
public async void SomeMethodAsync()
{
StreamObject _streamObj = new StreamObject()
{
ResourceURI = new Uri(#"https://www.mrporter.com/"),
ProcessStream = true
};
_streamObj = await HTTP_GetStreamAsync(_streamObj);
}
I had to cut out the Proxy setup (it's inititialized if needed in the same method that initializes the WebRequest Headers). Anyway, it should looks like this:
if ([UseProxy])
if ([ProxyHost] != null) {
WebRequest.Proxy = new WebProxy([ProxyHost], [ProxyPort]);
if ([Credentials] != null)
WebRequest.Proxy.Credentials = new NetworkCredential([Credentials].UserID, [Credentials].Password);
} else {
WebRequest.Proxy = WebRequest.GetSystemWebProxy();
}
}
If you plan on using a Proxy, you should also insert this parameter in
your app.config file:
<system.net>
<defaultProxy useDefaultCredentials="true" />
</system.net>
When the main method (HTTP_GetStreamAsync()) returns, StreamObject.Payload will contain the decoded Html Page of the Site you connected to.
There are a number of sub-utilities and it might look complicated, but everything should work fine. You just need to insert all of the code inside a class and modify the calling method (SomeMethodAsync()) accordingly.
(I'll edit this when I have a moment).

Webrequest c# API null once reached the API

I am trying to send a request from server side to my API, here is my code from Server
var httpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://localhost:59606/api/values/UserCheck");
httpWebRequest.ContentType = "application/json; charset=utf-8";
httpWebRequest.Method = "POST";
using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(httpWebRequest.GetRequestStream()))
{
string json = "{\"username\":\"User\"," +
"\"password\":\"Mypassword\"," +
"\"logonfrom\":\"DOMAIN\\DomainName\"}";
streamWriter.Write(json);
streamWriter.Flush();
streamWriter.Close();
}
var httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse();
using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(httpResponse.GetResponseStream()))
{
var result = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
Console.WriteLine(result);
Console.ReadLine();
}
May API code are below:
[HttpPost]
[ActionName("UserCheck")]
public bool UserCheck([FromBody]User value)
{
ContextType CT = ContextType.Domain;
if (value.logonfrom.Split('\\')[0] == "DOMAIN")
{
CT = ContextType.Domain;
}else if(value.logonfrom.Split('\\')[0] == "MACHINE")
{
CT = ContextType.Machine;
}else
{
return false;
}
return CheckCredentials(value.username, value.password, CT,value.logonfrom.Split('\\')[1]);
}
when my request reach the Action of UserCheck, the value of
([FromBody]User value)
is null
my Class for the User is below
public class User
{
public string username { get; set; }
public string password { get; set; }
public string system { get; set; }
public string IP { get; set; }
public string logonfrom { get; set; }
}
BUT once i remove the logonfrom variable from json there is no error, i mean the parameter (value) successfully captures the content i sent.
Thanks

use the following peace of code.
string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new { username = "afsa", password = "fsaf", system = "fsaf", ip = "fsf", logonfrom ="fsfsd"});

sending push notification using FCM on android device

I can able to send the push notification on my android application using the console. but using server side code, I get the successfully message send notification but actually notification does not able to receive at device end. Please, tell me what is wrong with my code:
public static string SendPushNotification() {
try {
string applicationID = "AAAA4GkXVHA:....-qRw";
string senderId = "963..28";
string deviceId = "APA91bHLV...IC4s";
WebRequest tRequest = WebRequest.Create("https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send");
tRequest.Method = "post";
tRequest.ContentType = "application/json";
var data = new {
to = deviceId,
notification = new {
body = "hema",
title = "hem",
//priority = "normal",
//sound = "Enabled"
},
};
var serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var json = serializer.Serialize(data);
Byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(json);
tRequest.Headers.Add(string.Format("Authorization: key={0}", applicationID));
tRequest.Headers.Add(string.Format("Sender: id={0}", senderId));
tRequest.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
using (Stream dataStream = tRequest.GetRequestStream()) {
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
using (WebResponse tResponse = tRequest.GetResponse()) {
using (Stream dataStreamResponse = tResponse.GetResponseStream()) {
using (StreamReader tReader = new StreamReader(dataStreamResponse)) {
String sResponseFromServer = tReader.ReadToEnd();
string str = sResponseFromServer;
return str;
}
}
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex) {
string str = ex.Message;
return str;
}
}
where I got the response in return is as follows :
{"multicast_id":8288766196764532656,"success":1,"failure":0,"canonical_ids":0,"results":[{"message_id":"0:1481612825945796%6ad79a87f9fd7ecd"}]}

Sending the json in right format:
{
"to" : "APA91bHLV__P6Qer8U70j82blZt0VdDgc2zo_4DtAD4_MtE-......",
"notification" : {
"body" : "Success!",
"title" : "Hema",
"icon" : "myicon"
}
}
To check it properly, you can also use the postman:

Even I experienced the same problem. Finish all the steps in connecting the FCM from Client side. If you implement GetMessage() method from client side, only then your device is able to get the Notification from Server side

I wrote a small tutorial for this: https://www.kendar.org/?p=/tutorials/notifications with an Android app and a .Net core Server. To summarize here is the "main" server code
public NotificationResult Send(NotificationModel messageData)
{
var result = "-1";
var webAddr = "https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send";
var httpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(webAddr);
httpWebRequest.ContentType = "application/json";
httpWebRequest.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.Authorization, "key=PROJECTSETTINGS->Cloud Messagings->Server Key");
httpWebRequest.Method = "POST";
using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(httpWebRequest.GetRequestStream()))
{
string strNJson = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new NotificationMessage
{
To = "/topics/ServiceNow",
Data = new NotificationData
{
Description = messageData.Description,
IncidentNo = messageData.IncidentNo,
ShortDesc = messageData.ShortDesc
},
Notification = new Notification
{
Title = "ServiceNow: Incident No." + messageData.IncidentNo,
Text = "Notification"
}
});
streamWriter.Write(strNJson);
streamWriter.Flush();
}
var httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse();
using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(httpResponse.GetResponseStream()))
{
result = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
}
return new NotificationResult
{
Result = result
};
}
And the classes that wrap the message to FCM (with the Json annotations to correct the mismatch between .Net and Json naming standards)
public class NotificationData
{
public string ShortDesc { get; set; }
public long IncidentNo { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
}
public class Notification
{
public Notification()
{
Sound = "default";
}
[JsonProperty("title")]
public string Title { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("text")]
public string Text { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("sound")]
public string Sound { get; set; }
}
public class NotificationMessage
{
[JsonProperty("to")]
public string To { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("data")]
public NotificationData Data { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("notification")]
public Notification Notification { get; set; }
}

I don't know from where i can store the user information in my table,
actually I don't know about google authentication and i find ths=is code on stackoverflow
I just want to store all the information in a table and if a user is logged in for the first time the page should be redirected to new user page and if the user is old user the page should redirect to welcome page

To start with, I definitely agree that Google's documentation is a murky business.
There are a couple of different ways in which you can validate the integrity of the ID token on the server side (btw this is the page you're looking for):
"Manually" - constantly download Google's public keys, verify signature and then each and every field, including the iss one; the main advantage (albeit a small one in my opinion) I see here is that you can minimize the number of requests sent to Google).
"Automatically" - do a GET on Google's endpoint to verify this token
https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/tokeninfo?id_token={0}
Using a Google API Client Library - like the official one.
Here's how this could look:
private const string GoogleApiTokenInfoUrl = "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/tokeninfo?id_token={0}";
public ProviderUserDetails GetUserDetails(string providerToken)
{
var httpClient = new MonitoredHttpClient();
var requestUri = new Uri(string.Format(GoogleApiTokenInfoUrl, providerToken));
HttpResponseMessage httpResponseMessage;
try
{
httpResponseMessage = httpClient.GetAsync(requestUri).Result;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return null;
}
if (httpResponseMessage.StatusCode != HttpStatusCode.OK)
{
return null;
}
var response = httpResponseMessage.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
var googleApiTokenInfo = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<GoogleApiTokenInfo>(response);
if (!SupportedClientsIds.Contains(googleApiTokenInfo.aud))
{
Log.WarnFormat("Google API Token Info aud field ({0}) not containing the required client id", googleApiTokenInfo.aud);
return null;
}
return new ProviderUserDetails
{
Email = googleApiTokenInfo.email,
FirstName = googleApiTokenInfo.given_name,
LastName = googleApiTokenInfo.family_name,
Locale = googleApiTokenInfo.locale,
Name = googleApiTokenInfo.name,
ProviderUserId = googleApiTokenInfo.sub
};
}

Google Cloud Printing exception 426 requires HTTPS

I am having a problem with Google Cloud Printing, it always throw an error when I submit a print job using C#:
The remote server returned an error: (426) Requires HTTPS..
I even try it on http://www.google.com/cloudprint/simulate.html but the same problem.
Any way to workaround this or am I missing something?

This is an example of the HTTP POST message which finally got the Submit operation working.
