I want to download release asset zipball´s in a C# application for further use.
I´m using Octokit to get all release informations from the repo, including the respective browserdownload_url.
After some research it seemed to me, that you cant download this release asset zip´s via octokit, so trying with httpclient as suggested by some SO posts, that were asking these questions.
The release zip´s are on a Github Enterprise Repository, so they require Authentication.
And that is probably my issue, i cant make the authentication work with the httpClient...
The request always responds with Code 404
(which is the regular behaviour if you try by putting the url into the regular browser without logging in)
My actual implementation looks like this
public void DownloadRelease(string dlUrl, string targetPath)
{
var githubToken = "aaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbcccccccccdddddddddd"; //Token created in the github developer settings with all available rights
//dlUrl = https://github.server.de/organization/project/releases/download/v1.2.34/release.zip
using (var client = new System.Net.Http.HttpClient())
{
var credentials = string.Format(System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, "{0}:", githubToken);
credentials = Convert.ToBase64String(System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(credentials));
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new System.Net.Http.Headers.AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic", credentials);
//client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", githubToken);
var contents = client.GetByteArrayAsync(dlUrl).Result;
System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes(targetPath, contents);
}
}
Update:
At the End we followed the way of using the curl way:
https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-server#3.0/rest/reference/repos#download-a-repository-archive-zip
And one more mistake on my end: There were releases without downloadable Asset IDs which i didnt catch in the code.
Based on the documentation (https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-server#2.22/rest/overview/other-authentication-methods#via-oauth-and-personal-access-tokens) my best guess is, that your crendentials are wrong.
The docs say, the format should be username:token, yet you are only using token followed by a colon : - that doesn't look right to me, either.
So essentially you need to refactor your credentials variable a bit:
var credentials = $"{username}:{githubToken}";
I need to automatically collect the information from the nuget packages of a series of projects. For this purpose I use the API that miscrosoft makes available.
Making the call:
https://api.nuget.org/v3/registration3/epplus/index.json
I get the most recent version: v.4.5.3.1 while on the nuget website it is: v. 5.1.2.
To make the call I use the following code:
static void GetNuGetIndex(Model.Package package)
{
string uri = "https://api.nuget.org/v3/registration3/" + package.Name.ToLower() + "/index.json";
string json = new WebClient().DownloadString(uri);
var packageIndex = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JSONModel.NuGetPackageIndex>(json);
int packageIndexItemCounter = 0;
if (packageIndex.Items.Count > 0)
foreach (var packageItem in packageIndex.Items)
{
packageIndexItemCounter++;
List<JSONModel.NuGetPackageItem> items = packageItem.Items;
if (packageItem.Items == null)
{
string lookupjson = new WebClient().DownloadString(packageItem.LookupUrl);
items = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JSONModel.NuGetPackageItems>(lookupjson).Items;
}
GetNuGetItems(package, items, package.Name, package.Version, (packageIndexItemCounter.Equals(packageIndex.Items.Count) ? packageItem.Upper : "" ));
}
}
Can anyone give me an explanation of why I have this problem and how can it be solved?
Thanks
I believe this is because this endpoint has been discontinued.
Consulting to the service index api, available at: https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json (DOC) you can see that the address you are using is not returned.
When consulting the endpoint https://api.nuget.org/v3/registration5-semver1/epplus/index.json provided by the index api, the "upper" field will now return the most current version
I looked here, which suggests you need a different query to return packages:
https://api.nuget.org/v3/registration5-semver1/epplus/index.json
As Kelvin mentioned, that registration hive has been discontinued. I would recommend using the NuGet client SDK to interact with the NuGet API: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/reference/nuget-client-sdk#list-package-versions
If you still would like to use the NuGet APIs directly, I recommend reading through the following resources:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/api/overview
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/api/service-index
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/api/registration-base-url-resource
TLDR: You have to "discover" the latest location of the registration endpoint using the V3 Service Index API at https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json.
I'm trying to make a login for a UWP app that I'm developing for a client that has a #<theircompay>.com email that uses G Suite. It doesn't have to access any user data, they just want it as an authentication so that only people that have a company email can access the app.
It would be great if they could login from within the app without having to use a web browser, and even better if it could remember them so they wouldn't have to login every single time.
I've been looking at OAuth 2.0 and several other solutions google has but can't really understand which one to use and much less how.
I looked into this answer but it doesn't seem like a good idea to ship your certificate file with your app.
So basically if this can be done, what (if any) certificates or credentials do I need to get from Google, and how would I handle them and the login through my C# code?
Edit
The app is 100% client side, no server backend
Taking a look at Google's GitHub it seems that .Net API is still not ready for UWP (however if you traverse the issues you will find that they are working on it, so it's probably a matter of time when official version is ready and this answer would be obsolete).
As I think getting simple accessToken (optionaly refresing it) to basic profile info should be sufficient for this case. Basing on available samples from Google I've build a small project (source at GitHub), that can help you.
So first of all you have to define your app at Google's developer console and obtain ClientID and ClientSecret. Once you have this you can get to coding. To obtain accessToken I will use a WebAuthenticationBroker:
string authString = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?client_id=" + ClientID;
authString += "&scope=profile";
authString += $"&redirect_uri={RedirectURI}";
authString += $"&state={state}";
authString += $"&code_challenge={code_challenge}";
authString += $"&code_challenge_method={code_challenge_method}";
authString += "&response_type=code";
var receivedData = await WebAuthenticationBroker.AuthenticateAsync(WebAuthenticationOptions.UseTitle, new Uri(authString), new Uri(ApprovalEndpoint));
switch (receivedData.ResponseStatus)
{
case WebAuthenticationStatus.Success:
await GetAccessToken(receivedData.ResponseData.Substring(receivedData.ResponseData.IndexOf(' ') + 1), state, code_verifier);
return true;
case WebAuthenticationStatus.ErrorHttp:
Debug.WriteLine($"HTTP error: {receivedData.ResponseErrorDetail}");
return false;
case WebAuthenticationStatus.UserCancel:
default:
return false;
}
If everything goes all right and user puts correct credentials, you will have to ask Google for tokens (I assume that you only want the user to put credentials once). For this purpose you have the method GetAccessToken:
// Parses URI params into a dictionary - ref: http://stackoverflow.com/a/11957114/72176
Dictionary<string, string> queryStringParams = data.Split('&').ToDictionary(c => c.Split('=')[0], c => Uri.UnescapeDataString(c.Split('=')[1]));
StringContent content = new StringContent($"code={queryStringParams["code"]}&client_secret={ClientSecret}&redirect_uri={Uri.EscapeDataString(RedirectURI)}&client_id={ClientID}&code_verifier={codeVerifier}&grant_type=authorization_code",
Encoding.UTF8, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
HttpResponseMessage response = await httpClient.PostAsync(TokenEndpoint, content);
string responseString = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
if (!response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
Debug.WriteLine("Authorization code exchange failed.");
return;
}
JsonObject tokens = JsonObject.Parse(responseString);
accessToken = tokens.GetNamedString("access_token");
foreach (var item in vault.RetrieveAll().Where((x) => x.Resource == TokenTypes.AccessToken.ToString() || x.Resource == TokenTypes.RefreshToken.ToString())) vault.Remove(item);
vault.Add(new PasswordCredential(TokenTypes.AccessToken.ToString(), "MyApp", accessToken));
vault.Add(new PasswordCredential(TokenTypes.RefreshToken.ToString(), "MyApp", tokens.GetNamedString("refresh_token")));
TokenLastAccess = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow;
Once you have the tokens (I'm saving them in PasswordVault for safety), you can later then use them to authenticate without asking the user for his credentials. Note that accessToken has limited lifetime, therefore you use refreshToken to obtain a new one:
if (DateTimeOffset.UtcNow < TokenLastAccess.AddSeconds(3600))
{
// is authorized - no need to Sign In
return true;
}
else
{
string token = GetTokenFromVault(TokenTypes.RefreshToken);
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(token))
{
StringContent content = new StringContent($"client_secret={ClientSecret}&refresh_token={token}&client_id={ClientID}&grant_type=refresh_token",
Encoding.UTF8, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
HttpResponseMessage response = await httpClient.PostAsync(TokenEndpoint, content);
string responseString = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
JsonObject tokens = JsonObject.Parse(responseString);
accessToken = tokens.GetNamedString("access_token");
foreach (var item in vault.RetrieveAll().Where((x) => x.Resource == TokenTypes.AccessToken.ToString())) vault.Remove(item);
vault.Add(new PasswordCredential(TokenTypes.AccessToken.ToString(), "MyApp", accessToken));
TokenLastAccess = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow;
return true;
}
}
}
The code above is only a sample (with some shortcuts) and as mentioned above - a working version with some more error handling you will find at my GitHub. Please also note, that I haven't spend much time on this and it will surely need some more work to handle all the cases and possible problems. Though hopefully will help you to start.
Answer from Roamsz is great but didnt work for me because I found some conflicts or at least with the latest build 17134 as target, it doesn't work. Here are the problem, in his Github sample, he is using returnurl as urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob . this is the type of url, you can't use with web application type when you create new "Create OAuth client ID" in the google or firebase console. you must use "Ios" as shown below. because web application requires http or https urls as return url.
from google doc
According to his sample he is using Client secret to obtain access token, this is not possible if you create Ios as type. because Android and Ios arent using client secret. It is perfectly described over here
client_secret The client secret obtained from the API Console. This
value is not needed for clients registered as Android, iOS, or Chrome
applications.
So you must use type as Ios, No Client Secret needed and return url is urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob or urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob:auto difference is that auto closes browser and returns back to the app. other one, code needs to be copied manually. I prefer to use urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob:auto
Regarding code: please follow his github code. Just remove the Client Secret from the Access Token Request.
EDIT: it looks like I was right that even offical sample is not working after UWP version 15063, somebody created an issue on their github
https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-universal-samples/issues/642
I'm using pretty straightforward code with Google.Apis.Oauth2.v2 Nuget package. Note, that I'm using v.1.25.0.859 of that package. I tried to update to the lastest version (1.37.0.1404), but this surprisingly doesn't work with UWP. At the same time v. 1.25.0.859 works just fine.
So, unless there's a better option, I would recommend to use a bit old, but working version of Nuget package.
This is my code:
credential = await GoogleWebAuthorizationBroker.AuthorizeAsync(
new Uri("ms-appx:///Assets/User/Auth/google_client_secrets.json"),
new[] { "profile", "email" },
"me",
CancellationToken.None);
await GoogleWebAuthorizationBroker.ReauthorizeAsync(credential, CancellationToken.None);
Then you can retrieve access token from: credential.Token.AccessToken.
Update 2017!
The issue I had when I posted the original question has got nothing to do with the recent changes Facebook made when they forced everyone to version 2.3 of their API. For a solution to that specific problem, see sammy34's answer below. Version 2.3 of the /oauth/access_token endpoint now returns JSON instead of form-encoded values
For historical reasons, here's my original question/issue:
I've got an MVC5 Web application which is using the built-in support for authentication via Facebook and Google. When we built this app a few months ago, we followed this tutorial: http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/mvc-5/create-an-aspnet-mvc-5-app-with-facebook-and-google-oauth2-and-openid-sign-on and everything worked great.
Now, all of a sudden, the Facebook authentication has just stopped working alltogether. The Google authentication still works great.
Description of the problem: We click the link to connect using Facebook, we are redirected to Facebook where we are prompted if we wan't to allow our Facebook app access to our profile. When we click "OK" we are redirected back to our site, but instead of being logged in we simply end up at the login screen.
I've gone through this process in debug mode and I've got this ActionResult in my account controller as per the tutorial mentioned above:
// GET: /Account/ExternalLoginCallback
[AllowAnonymous]
public async Task<ActionResult> ExternalLoginCallback(string returnUrl)
{
var loginInfo = await AuthenticationManager.GetExternalLoginInfoAsync();
if (loginInfo == null)
{
return RedirectToAction("Login");
}
............
When stepping through the code and upon returning from Facebook, the loginInfo object is always NULL, which causes the user to be redirected back to the login.
In order to understand what is actually happening behind the scenes, I installed Fiddler and monitored the HTTP traffic. What I disovered is that upon clicking "OK" at the Facebook permission dialog, Facebook redirects back to our application with this URL:
https://localhost/signin-facebook?code=<access-token>
This URL is not an actual file and probably handled by some controller/handler built into this OWIN framework I'm guessing. Most likely, it is connecting back to Facebook using the given code to query information about the user which is trying to login. Now, the problem is that instead of doing that, we are redirected to:
/Account/ExternalLoginCallback?error=access_denied
Which I'm sure is something Facebook is doing, that is, instead of giving us the user data, it's redirecting us back with this error message.
This causes the AuthenticationManager.GetExternalLoginInfoAsync(); to fail and always return NULL.
I'm completely out of ideas. As far as we know, we did not change anything on our end.
I've tried creating a new Facebook app, I've tried following the tutorial again but I always have the same problem.
Any ideas welcome!
Update!
OK, this is driving me insane! I've now manually gone through the steps required to perform the authentication and everything works great when I do that. Why on earth is this not working when using the MVC5 Owin stuff?
This is what I did:
// Step 1 - Pasted this into a browser, this returns a code
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?response_type=code&client_id=619359858118523&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2Fsignin-facebook&scope=&state=u9R1m4iRI6Td4yACEgO99ETQw9NAos06bZWilJxJrXRn1rh4KEQhfuEVAq52UPnUif-lEHgayyWrsrdlW6t3ghLD8iFGX5S2iUBHotyTqCCQ9lx2Nl091pHPIw1N0JV23sc4wYfOs2YU5smyw9MGhcEuinvTAEql2QhBowR62FfU6PY4lA6m8pD3odI5MwBYOMor3eMLu2qnpEk0GekbtTVWgQnKnH6t1UcC6KcNXYY
I was redirected back to localhost (which I had shut down at this point to avoid being redirected immediately away). The URL I was redirected to is this:
https://localhost/signin-facebook?code=<code-received-removed-for-obvious-reasons>
Now, I grabbed the code I got and used it in the URL below:
// Step 2 - opened this URL in a browser, and successfully retrieved an access token
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=619359858118523&redirect_uri=https://localhost/signin-facebook&client_secret=<client-secret>&code=<code-from-step-1>
// Step 3 - Now I'm able to query the facebook graph using the access token from step 2!
https://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=<access-token-from-step-2>
No errors, everything works great! Then why the hell is this not working when using the MVC5 Owin stuff? There's obviously something wrong with the OWin implementation.
Update 22nd April 2017: Version 3.1.0 of the Microsoft.Owin.* packages are now available. If you're having problems after Facebook's API changes from the 27th March 2017, try the updated NuGet packages first. In my case they solved the problem (working fine on our production systems).
Original answer:
In my case, I woke up on the 28th March 2017 to discover that our app's Facebook authentication had suddenly stopped working. We hadn't changed anything in the app code.
It turns out that Facebook did a "force upgrade" of their graph API from version 2.2 to 2.3 on 27th March 2017. One of the differences in these versions of the API seems to be that the Facebook endpoint /oauth/access_token responds no longer with a form-encoded content body, but with JSON instead.
Now, in the Owin middleware, we find the method protected override FacebookAuthenticationHandler.AuthenticateCoreAsync(), which parses the body of the response as a form and subsequently uses the access_token from the parsed form. Needless to say, the parsed form is empty, so the access_token is also empty, causing an access_denied error further down the chain.
To fix this quickly, we created a wrapper class for the Facebook Oauth response
public class FacebookOauthResponse
{
public string access_token { get; set; }
public string token_type { get; set; }
public int expires_in { get; set; }
}
Then, in OwinStart, we added a custom back-channel handler...
app.UseFacebookAuthentication(new FacebookAuthenticationOptions
{
AppId = "hidden",
AppSecret = "hidden",
BackchannelHttpHandler = new FacebookBackChannelHandler()
});
...where the handler is defined as:
public class FacebookBackChannelHandler : HttpClientHandler
{
protected override async System.Threading.Tasks.Task<HttpResponseMessage> SendAsync(HttpRequestMessage request, System.Threading.CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
var result = await base.SendAsync(request, cancellationToken);
if (!request.RequestUri.AbsolutePath.Contains("access_token"))
return result;
// For the access token we need to now deal with the fact that the response is now in JSON format, not form values. Owin looks for form values.
var content = await result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
var facebookOauthResponse = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<FacebookOauthResponse>(content);
var outgoingQueryString = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(string.Empty);
outgoingQueryString.Add(nameof(facebookOauthResponse.access_token), facebookOauthResponse.access_token);
outgoingQueryString.Add(nameof(facebookOauthResponse.expires_in), facebookOauthResponse.expires_in + string.Empty);
outgoingQueryString.Add(nameof(facebookOauthResponse.token_type), facebookOauthResponse.token_type);
var postdata = outgoingQueryString.ToString();
var modifiedResult = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK)
{
Content = new StringContent(postdata)
};
return modifiedResult;
}
}
Basically, the handler simply creates a new HttpResponseMessage containing the equivalent form-encoded information from the Facebook JSON response. Note that this code uses the popular Json.Net package.
With this custom handler, the problems seem to be resolved (although we're yet to deploy to prod :)).
Hope that saves somebody else waking up today with similar problems!
Also, if anybody has a cleaner solution to this, I'd love to know!
Noticed this problem yesterday. Facebook does not support Microsoft.Owin.Security.Facebook version 3.0.1 anymore. For me it worked to install version 3.1.0. To update to 3.1.0, run the command Install-Package Microsoft.Owin.Security.Facebook in Package Manager Console: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Owin.Security.Facebook
Ok I've got a solution to the problem.
This is the code I had previously in my Startup.Auth.cs file:
var x = new FacebookAuthenticationOptions();
//x.Scope.Add("email");
x.AppId = "1442725269277224";
x.AppSecret = "<secret>";
x.Provider = new FacebookAuthenticationProvider()
{
OnAuthenticated = async context =>
{
//Get the access token from FB and store it in the database and
//use FacebookC# SDK to get more information about the user
context.Identity.AddClaim(new System.Security.Claims.Claim("FacebookAccessToken",context.AccessToken));
context.Identity.AddClaim(new System.Security.Claims.Claim("urn:facebook:name", context.Name));
context.Identity.AddClaim(new System.Security.Claims.Claim("urn:facebook:email", context.Email));
}
};
x.SignInAsAuthenticationType = DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ExternalCookie;
app.UseFacebookAuthentication(x);
Notice how the
x.Scope.Add("email")
line has been commented out, but still I'm query-ing for the e-mail later in the OnAuthenticated handler? Yup, that's right. For some reason this worked flawlessly for a few weeks.
My solution was to simply uncomment the x.Scope.Add("email"); line to make sure that the scope=email variable was present in the initial request to Facebook.
Now everything works like it did!
I cannot understand why this worked before like it was. The only explanation I can come up with is that Facebook changed something on their end.
I had this same issue with the Google Authentication. The following worked for me: Changes to Google OAuth 2.0 and updates in Google middleware for 3.0.0 RC release
The last Facebook upgrade was on 2015-02-09 (https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.AspNet.WebPages.OAuth/)
The latest version of the API at that point was version 2.2. Version 2.2 expired on the 25th of March 2017, which is coincidentally when the problem started. (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog)
I'm guessing Facebook probably automatically upgraded the API and now the MS OAUTH library is unable to parse the new response.
tldr: The Microsoft WebPages OAuth library is outdated (for FB at least) and you'll probably have to find another solution
The above solutions didn't work for me. In the end, it seemed to be related to the Session. By "waking up" the session in the previous call, it would no longer return null from the GetExternalLoginInfoAsync()
[HttpPost]
[AllowAnonymous]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult ExternalLogin(string provider, string returnUrl)
{
Session["WAKEUP"] = "NOW!";
// Request a redirect to the external login provider
return new ChallengeResult(provider, Url.Action("ExternalLoginCallback", "Account", new { ReturnUrl = returnUrl }));
}
Like the OP, I had the 3rd party auth working fine for a long time then suddenly it stopped. I beleive it was due to the changes made in my code when I set up the Session to use Redis Cache on Azure.
I had this problem as well, but it wasn't caused by the scope setting. Took me a long time to figure that out, but what finally clued me in was by setting a custom logger by setting the following in OwinStartup.Configuration(IAppBuilder app).
app.SetLoggerFactory(new LoggerFactory());
// Note: LoggerFactory is my own custom ILoggerFactory
This outputted the following:
2014-05-31 21:14:48,508 [8] ERROR

Based on the above call stack I found that my Azure VM was unable to resolve graph.facebook.com. All I had to do to fix that was to run "ipconfig /registerdns" and I was all fixed...
I have been working on solution for three days. And I've just found it on github(https://github.com/aspnet/AspNetKatana/issues/38#issuecomment-290400987)
var facebookOptions = new FacebookAuthenticationOptions()
{
AppId = "xxxxx",
AppSecret = "xxxxx",
};
// Set requested scope
facebookOptions.Scope.Add("email");
facebookOptions.Scope.Add("public_profile");
// Set requested fields
facebookOptions.Fields.Add("email");
facebookOptions.Fields.Add("first_name");
facebookOptions.Fields.Add("last_name");
facebookOptions.Provider = new FacebookAuthenticationProvider()
{
OnAuthenticated = (context) =>
{
// Attach the access token if you need it later on for calls on behalf of the user
context.Identity.AddClaim(new System.Security.Claims.Claim("FacebookAccessToken", context.AccessToken));
foreach (var claim in context.User)
{
//var claimType = string.Format("urn:facebook:{0}", claim.Key);
var claimType = string.Format("{0}", claim.Key);
string claimValue = claim.Value.ToString();
if (!context.Identity.HasClaim(claimType, claimValue))
context.Identity.AddClaim(new System.Security.Claims.Claim(claimType, claimValue, "XmlSchemaString", "Facebook"));
}
return Task.FromResult(0);
}
};
app.UseFacebookAuthentication(facebookOptions);
And to get values
var info = await AuthenticationManager.GetExternalLoginInfoAsync();
if (info != null)
{
var firstName = info.ExternalIdentity.Claims.First(c => c.Type == "first_name").Value;
var lastName = info.ExternalIdentity.Claims.First(c => c.Type == "last_name").Value;
}
Check you get an outside internet connection from your application. If not, fix your outside internet connection. My problem was I was using an EC2 AWS instance that suddenly stopped connecting to the internet. It took me a while to realize that was the problem.
This drove me insane. All was working until I deployed to my staging environment. I was using Microsoft.Owin.Security.Facebook version 3.0.1 from Nuget. Updated it to the prelease version 3.1.0 from Nuget and I no longer got the access denied error...
Even though i did everything what sammy34 said, it did not work for me. I was at the same point with HaukurHaf: When i make apirequest manually on browser it works perfect, but if i use my mvc app, GetExternalLoginInfoAsync() always returns null.
So i changed some rows on sammy34's codes like on this comment: https://stackoverflow.com/a/43148543/7776015
Replaced:
if (!request.RequestUri.AbsolutePath.Contains("/oauth"))
{
request.RequestUri = new Uri(request.RequestUri.AbsoluteUri.Replace("?access_token", "&access_token"));
}
var result = await base.SendAsync(request, cancellationToken);
if (!request.RequestUri.AbsolutePath.Contains("/oauth"))
{
return result;
}
Instead of:
var result = await base.SendAsync(request, cancellationToken);
if (!request.RequestUri.AbsolutePath.Contains("access_token"))
return result;
And added this row into my FacebookAuthenticationOptions:
UserInformationEndpoint = "https://graph.facebook.com/v2.8/me?fields=id,name,email,first_name,last_name,picture"
and now it works.(fields and that parameters optional)
Note: I did not update Microsoft.Owin.Security.Facebook
I've tried this code
string AccountSid = "[mySID]";
string AuthToken = "[myAuthCode]";
var twilio = new TwilioRestClient(AccountSid, AuthToken);
var me = twilio.SendMessage("+15016536555", "+923355216606", "A blank txt");
Console.WriteLine(me.Sid);
I put my original SID and AuthToken in my code. The me.Sid is giving null.
Moreover, the To number is also registered.
I noted that the To and From in me variable is empty.Their is only send and recieve date and time.
I tried your code and it worked fine when To and From numbers were valid. I could receive the text. However, when I changed the From number it failed and reproduced the same problem. It didn't throw an exception, just failed silently.
Interesting thing is there is a RestException property in the message object which displayed "The From phone number +xxxxxxxxxx is not a valid, SMS-capable inbound phone number or short code for your account." This way it was easy to identify the problem.
I installed Twilio wrapper from NuGet
Install-Package Twilio
and the version I've just tried is 4.0.3
If your version is out of date, update it to the latest version so you can check the error using RestException property.
UPDATE:
The message object and RestException in my application looks like this:
