Why same code sending different HTTP request in localhost and test server?

My code is sending a HTTP POST request with a JSON body. It is working
as expected in localhost but when I deploy it on server then it is
working differently. On my local machine response is okey but on server the response says request is not same !
var request = WebRequest.Create($"{baseUrl}{resourceAddress}");
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "application/json";
var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(requestBody);
request.ContentLength = json.Length;
using (var webStream = request.GetRequestStream())
{
using (var requestWriter = new StreamWriter(webStream, Encoding.ASCII))
{
requestWriter.Write(json);
}
}
try
{
var webResponse = request.GetResponse();
using var webStream = webResponse.GetResponseStream() ?? Stream.Null;
using var responseReader = new StreamReader(webStream);
var response = responseReader.ReadToEnd();
var paymentUrlResponse = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<PaymentUrlResponse>(response);
if(paymentUrlResponse.Result.ResultCode != "00")
{
throw new Exception("Failed to get URL. Http Response: OK , Result Code: " + paymentUrlResponse.Result.ResultCode);
}
_httpContextAccessor.HttpContext.Response.Redirect(redirectionUrl);
}

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...
private static void ICloud()
{
var cc = new CookieContainer();
var first = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://idmsa.apple.com/appleauth/auth/signin?widgetKey=83545bf919730e51dbfba24e7e8a78d2&locale=de_DE&font=sf");
first.Method = "GET";
first.CookieContainer = cc;
var response1 = (HttpWebResponse)first.GetResponse();
using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(response1.GetResponseStream()))
{
var result = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
}
var second = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://idmsa.apple.com/appleauth/auth/signin");
second.ContentType = "application/json";
second.Method = "POST";
second.Accept = "application/json";
second.CachePolicy = new RequestCachePolicy(RequestCacheLevel.NoCacheNoStore);
second.Referrer = "https://idmsa.apple.com/appleauth/auth/signin?widgetKey=83545bf919730e51dbfba24e7e8a78d2&locale=de_DE&font=sf";
second.Headers.Add("X-Requested-With", "XMLHttpRequest");
second.Headers.Add("X-Apple-Widget-Key", "83545bf919730e51dbfba24e7e8a78d2");
using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(second.GetRequestStream()))
{
string json = "{\"accountName\":\"test#icloud.com\",\"password\":\"test\",\"rememberMe\":false,\"trustTokens\":[]}";
streamWriter.Write(json);
streamWriter.Flush();
streamWriter.Close();
}
try
{
var response2 = (HttpWebResponse)second.GetResponse();
using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(response2.GetResponseStream()))
{
var result = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
}
}
catch(WebException we)
{
using (var r = new StreamReader(we.Response.GetResponseStream()))
{
var result2 = r.ReadToEnd();
}
}
}

Getting content from httpwebresponse exception

My remote server is throwing a web exception as bad request. But I know there is more information included in the error than what I get. If I look at the details from the exception it does not list the actual content of the response. I can see the content-type, content-length and content-encoding only. If I run this same message through another library (such as restsharp) I will see detailed exception information from the remote server. How can I get more details from the response since I know the remote server is sending them?
static string getXMLString(string xmlContent, string url)
{
//string Url;
string sResult;
//Url = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["UserURl"] + url;
var httpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
httpWebRequest.ContentType = "application/xml";
httpWebRequest.Method = "POST";
using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(httpWebRequest.GetRequestStream()))
{
streamWriter.Write(xmlContent);
streamWriter.Flush();
streamWriter.Close();
var httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse();
using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(httpResponse.GetResponseStream()))
{
var result = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
sResult = result;
}
}
return sResult;
}

EDIT : Have you tried with a simple try-catch to see if you can get more details ?
try
{
var response = (HttpWebResponse)(request.GetResponse());
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
var response = (HttpWebResponse)ex.Response;
}
In my recherches in an answer for you, I noticed that in code there was something about encoding, that you didn't specified. Look here for exemple with such code.
var encoding = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII;
using (var reader = new System.IO.StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream(), encoding))
{
string responseText = reader.ReadToEnd();
}
Or here, in the doc, also.
// Creates an HttpWebRequest with the specified URL.
HttpWebRequest myHttpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
// Sends the HttpWebRequest and waits for the response.
HttpWebResponse myHttpWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse)myHttpWebRequest.GetResponse();
// Gets the stream associated with the response.
Stream receiveStream = myHttpWebResponse.GetResponseStream();
Encoding encode = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("utf-8");
// Pipes the stream to a higher level stream reader with the required encoding format.
StreamReader readStream = new StreamReader( receiveStream, encode );
Console.WriteLine("\r\nResponse stream received.");
Have you tried with such ?

Call Genderize.io API From C#

I'm trying to call http://genderize.io/ , but i'm getting an error from .NET saying:
{"You must provide a request body if you set ContentLength>0 or SendChunked==true. Do this by calling [Begin]GetRequestStream before [Begin]GetResponse."}
How would I call this web service "http://api.genderize.io/?name=peter" from C# and get a JSON string back?
HttpWebRequest request;
string postData = "name=peter"
URL = "http://api.genderize.io/?"
Uri uri = new Uri(URL + postData);
request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uri);
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
request.ContentLength = postData.Length;
request.AllowAutoRedirect = true;
UTF8Encoding enc = new UTF8Encoding();
string result = string.Empty;
HttpWebResponse Response;
try
{
using (Response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
{
using (Stream responseStream = Response.GetResponseStream())
{
using (StreamReader readStream = new StreamReader(responseStream, Encoding.UTF8))
{
return readStream.ReadToEnd();
}
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Debug.WriteLine("Error: " + ex.Message);
throw ex;
}

You are making the call to the service using POST method, reading through the comments area in http://genderize.io/ the author states that only GET method requests are allowed.
Stroemgren: Yes, this is confirmed. Only HTTP GET request are allowed.
This answer probably would be better as a comment, but I don't have enough reputation :(

How to create folder and upload file using Rest api and oauth2.0

I want to create a folder and upload files using rest api
my code is like this
public string CreateFolder(string FolderName)
{
int WorkSpaceId = 330201;
int id = 168079105;
var queryString = HttpContext.Current.Session["tokenSession"];
var request = WebRequest.Create(RequestProfileUrl + FolderName);
request.AuthenticationLevel = System.Net.Security.AuthenticationLevel.None;
request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Bearer " + AccessToken);
request.ContentType = "multipart/form-data";
request.Method = "POST";
var response = request.GetResponse();
HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect("" + request.RequestUri);
using (var responseStream = response.GetResponseStream())
{
var reader = new StreamReader(responseStream);
var responseText = reader.ReadToEnd();
reader.Close();
return responseText;
}
}
I have to do like this
POST https://apis.live.net/v5.0/me/skydrive
Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN
Content-Type: multipart/form-data
{
"name": "My example folder"
}`
I added request header and content-type, I don't know how to add name parameter to my request.

To write the body of your POST request you need to get the request stream first, and then write to it. See the sample code below. Note that I changed the Content-Type from "multipart/form-data" to "application/json" as this is what your data seems to be.
// String with the body content
string postBody = "{\"name\":\"myfoldername\"}";
ASCIIEncoding encoding = new ASCIIEncoding ();
byte[] byte1 = encoding.GetBytes (postBody);
// Set Content type to application/json
myHttpWebRequest.ContentType = "application/json";
// Set content length of the string being posted.
myHttpWebRequest.ContentLength = byte1.Length;
// Get the request stream and write body bytes to it
Stream newStream = myHttpWebRequest.GetRequestStream ();
newStream.Write (byte1, 0, byte1.Length);
