Creating the slot issue using the AZURE service management rest API

Question

Hi

I am using the azure service management API.

I am getting the exception  "The remote server returned an error: (411) Length Required."

Code

public static void Hostedservice()
        {
            try
            {
                // X.509 certificate variables.
                X509Store certStore = null;
                X509Certificate2Collection certCollection = null;
                X509Certificate2 certificate = null;

                // Request and response variables.
                HttpWebRequest httpWebRequest = null;
                HttpWebResponse httpWebResponse = null;

                // Stream variables.
                Stream responseStream = null;
                StreamReader reader = null;

                // URI variable.
                Uri requestUri = null;


                // The ID for the Windows Azure subscription.
                string subscriptionId = "my-Sub";

                // The thumbprint for the certificate. This certificate would have been
                // previously added as a management certificate within the Windows Azure management portal.
                string thumbPrint = "add - thumprint";

                // Open the certificate store for the current user.
                certStore = new X509Store(StoreName.My, StoreLocation.CurrentUser);
                certStore.Open(OpenFlags.ReadOnly);

                // Find the certificate with the specified thumbprint.
                certCollection = certStore.Certificates.Find(
                                     X509FindType.FindByThumbprint,
                                     thumbPrint,
                                     false);

                // Close the certificate store.
                certStore.Close();

                // Check to see if a matching certificate was found.
                if (0 == certCollection.Count)
                {
                    throw new Exception("No certificate found containing thumbprint " + thumbPrint);
                }

                // A matching certificate was found.
                certificate = certCollection[0];
                Console.WriteLine("Using certificate with thumbprint: " + thumbPrint);

                // Create the request.
                requestUri = new Uri("https://management.core.windows.net/"
                                     + subscriptionId
                                     + "services/hostedservices"
                                     );



                httpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(requestUri);

                // Add the certificate to the request.
                httpWebRequest.ClientCertificates.Add(certificate);
                httpWebRequest.Method = "POST";
                httpWebRequest.ContentType = "application/xml";
                // Specify the version information in the header.
                httpWebRequest.Headers.Add("x-ms-version", "2010-10-28");
                httpWebRequest.Headers.Add("ServiceName", "dsfsdjkf");
                httpWebRequest.Headers.Add("Label", "hdjsfufuy");
                httpWebRequest.Headers.Add("Description", "afdfjhsdjfhkjdshf");
                httpWebRequest.Headers.Add("Location", "West Europe");





                // Make the call using the web request.
                httpWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse();

                // Display the web response status code.
                Console.WriteLine("Response status code: " + httpWebResponse.StatusCode);

                // Display the request ID returned by Windows Azure.
                if (null != httpWebResponse.Headers)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("x-ms-request-id: "
                    + httpWebResponse.Headers["x-ms-request-id"]);
                }

                // Parse the web response.
                responseStream = httpWebResponse.GetResponseStream();
                reader = new StreamReader(responseStream);
                // Display the raw response.
                Console.WriteLine("Response output:");
                Console.WriteLine(reader.ReadToEnd());

                // Close the resources no longer needed.
                httpWebResponse.Close();
                responseStream.Close();
                reader.Close();
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {

                Console.WriteLine("Error encountered: " + e.Message);

                // Exit the application with exit code 1.
                System.Environment.Exit(1);

            }
            finally
            {
                // Exit the application.
                System.Environment.Exit(0);
            }

        }

Any Help will be appreciated...

Hi,
Since your are not sending any information in the POST request body you will need to set the content size to 0:

httpWebRequest.ContentLength = 0;
