I have a simple WCF service with custom username-password authentication. I have a Windows Forms application that uses this service and it works fine. I need to know how can I call this service through an ASP.Net or any HTML page with same wsHttpBinding
using HTTP POST request? I tried webHttpBinding (as I thought it should work) but the authentication does not work and service can be accessed without user credentials, which is unacceptable. I can't get wsHttpBinding work in this case. I can use this service
this way...
ServiceClient proxy = new ServiceClient();
proxy.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "umais";
proxy.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = "asghar";
proxy.ClientCredentials.ServiceCertificate.Authentication.CertificateValidationMode = X509CertificateValidationMode.None;
string reply = proxy.Hello("Umais");
but I have to call it in another way, through HTTP POST request, for that purpose, I need to have something like this...
string url = "http://localhost:56779/Service.svc/Hello";
string parameters = "{'Name': 'Umais'}";
HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
req.Method = "POST";
req.ContentLength = 0;
req.ContentType = "application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8";
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(parameters))
{
byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(parameters);
req.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
Stream dataStream = req.GetRequestStream();
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
dataStream.Close();
}
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse();
I'm unable to consume the service through HttpWebRequest, can anyone help me out here please? (basicHttpBinding is also unacceptable because of its lack of security)
