I know I'm getting a valid response back from this thrid party API that I made the request to because I can plug in the URL that my request sent to the 3rd party REST API server manually and I get a valud response back in XML in the browser. However for
some reason besides the fact that I see a valid response while testing the request URL manually that my code produced (while debugging through it), I still get a 500 error on GetResponse():
public static HttpWebResponse SendRequest(HttpWebRequest request)
{
HttpWebResponse response;
request.Timeout = 30000;
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
byte[] requestBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(request.ToString());
request.ContentLength = requestBytes.Length;
using (Stream requestStream = request.GetRequestStream())
{
requestStream.Write(requestBytes, 0, requestBytes.Length);
requestStream.Close();
}
response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse(); // I get error: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.
if (response == null)
throw new NullReferenceException("Response received was null");
return response;
}
If the remote server is no longer complaining about my request and I'm getting what seems to be a valid value back from their API, then why all the fuss by the GetResponse method still? I'm testing this over localhost but that should not matter.
Below are a few examples you might want to try... did a little cutting/pasting and didn't try to compile, but should work fine. Wrote these methods a few years ago and have been working fine since.
public class HttpPost
{
static public string GetResponseAsString( string url, int timeout )
{
HttpWebRequest webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)System.Net.WebRequest.Create( url );
webRequest.AllowAutoRedirect = true;
webRequest.Timeout = 1000 * 30;
webRequest.UserAgent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)";
webRequest.PreAuthenticate = true;
webRequest.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
webRequest.Proxy = new System.Net.WebProxy("your proxy server", true); // comment out if you're not going thru a proxy
WebResponse webResponse = null;
try
{
webResponse = webRequest.GetResponse();
Stream stream = webResponse.GetResponseStream();
Encoding encoding = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding( "utf-8" );
StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader( stream, encoding );
string result = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
return result;
}
catch ( Exception e )
{
return e.Message;
}
}
static public HttpWebResponse GetResponse(string url)
{
HttpWebRequest webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)System.Net.WebRequest.Create(url);
webRequest.Proxy = new System.Net.WebProxy("your proxy server", true); // comment out if you're not going thru a proxy
webRequest.AllowAutoRedirect = true;
webRequest.Timeout = 1000 * 30;
webRequest.UserAgent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)";
webRequest.PreAuthenticate = true;
webRequest.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
return (HttpWebResponse)webRequest.GetResponse();
}
}

Disclaimer: Just my opinion. Not my employer or anyone else....
Here's the thing, we've use the code I posted before in another non-related app of ours. We can do it testing over localhost as well. So why the heck can't I receive the response without getting a 500 error in this one over localhost after sending the
web request to the 3rd party API when the browser is showing me (when you past in the request in the url for testing in the browser) that I'm getting back a valid API response/SOAP message from the 3rd party REST API? I don't know that I really need any
authentication properties here like PreAuthenticate, credentials, etc. I've tried them and they do not make any difference to getting through to successfully grabbing back the response here without getting the 500 error. I've also seen another framework
use the same request properties and same syntax to receive the response successfully. But not sure if they were testing over localhost.
Keep in mind I'm running this via localhost on a Vista PC so IIS 7. I've tried both using just plain localhost as well as the VS web server for localhost:port.
here's the request / reponse being sent over the wire:
Not sure if you have figured out the solution for this particular case. One thing i can suggest can you please check whether this 3rd party API accept request only in Get method.In that case use
request.Method = "GET";
instead of
request.Method = "POST";
Thanks

Entire problem was I needed to use GET. When sending a request out (Whether it's a SOAP message or just a url request to a 3rd party API), you use GET because you want to get the response back. Otherwise POST is used the other way around, if you were
the SOA framework and exposed your API, you'd want to take what's coming in (request) and process it....then you'd use POST.
as I'm not sending a SOAP message, I am not sure what those lines woudl be used for. I got them from some other code that worked in the past for a similar kind of call to the same API provider.
Congrads on getting it resolved! As for your GET/POST definitions, it's not quite correct. The difference is that in GET, the name/value pairs are in the URL, where as POST embeds them in the http request. There are reasons to use both in both situations.
Anyway, glad you got it fixed.
Please mark the post as ANSWER if it helps you
Disclaimer: Just my opinion. Not my employer or anyone else....
when I use HttpWebRequest.GetResponse() it throws error 500.
I can also say for sure that the request never reaches an invoked webmethod of the webservice since I perform it localy and debugger never stops in that method.
however adding a webreference and invoking its methods like Serive.Method() works fine.
I'm also 100% sure that XML I post is correct.
Please don't ask why do I use GetResponse if I can just add a reference.. I just have my reasons for that.
the question is why does it works with one webservice and throws 500th error with the other located on the very same machine.

HttpWebRequest.GetResponse() throwing 500 error
Jan 20, 2009 03:03 AM|LINK
I know I'm getting a valid response back from this thrid party API that I made the request to because I can plug in the URL that my request sent to the 3rd party REST API server manually and I get a valud response back in XML in the browser. However for some reason besides the fact that I see a valid response while testing the request URL manually that my code produced (while debugging through it), I still get a 500 error on GetResponse():
public static HttpWebResponse SendRequest(HttpWebRequest request) { HttpWebResponse response; request.Timeout = 30000; request.Method = "POST"; request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"; byte[] requestBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(request.ToString()); request.ContentLength = requestBytes.Length; using (Stream requestStream = request.GetRequestStream()) { requestStream.Write(requestBytes, 0, requestBytes.Length); requestStream.Close(); } response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse(); // I get error: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error. if (response == null) throw new NullReferenceException("Response received was null"); return response; }If the remote server is no longer complaining about my request and I'm getting what seems to be a valid value back from their API, then why all the fuss by the GetResponse method still? I'm testing this over localhost but that should not matter.Rick Matthys

Below are a few examples you might want to try... did a little cutting/pasting and didn't try to compile, but should work fine. Wrote these methods a few years ago and have been working fine since.
public class HttpPost { static public string GetResponseAsString( string url, int timeout ) { HttpWebRequest webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)System.Net.WebRequest.Create( url ); webRequest.AllowAutoRedirect = true; webRequest.Timeout = 1000 * 30; webRequest.UserAgent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)"; webRequest.PreAuthenticate = true; webRequest.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;http post

Thanks for the example.
Here's the thing, we've use the code I posted before in another non-related app of ours. We can do it testing over localhost as well. So why the heck can't I receive the response without getting a 500 error in this one over localhost after sending the web request to the 3rd party API when the browser is showing me (when you past in the request in the url for testing in the browser) that I'm getting back a valid API response/SOAP message from the 3rd party REST API? I don't know that I really need any authentication properties here like PreAuthenticate, credentials, etc. I've tried them and they do not make any difference to getting through to successfully grabbing back the response here without getting the 500 error. I've also seen another framework use the same request properties and same syntax to receive the response successfully. But not sure if they were testing over localhost.

Keep in mind I'm running this via localhost on a Vista PC so IIS 7. I've tried both using just plain localhost as well as the VS web server for localhost:port.
here's the request / reponse being sent over the wire:

Not sure if you have figured out the solution for this particular case. One thing i can suggest can you please check whether this 3rd party API accept request only in Get method.In that case use
instead of
request.Method = "POST";espresso

They are definitely expecting a POST.

Re: HttpWebRequest.GetResponse() throwing 500 error

Entire problem was I needed to use GET. When sending a request out (Whether it's a SOAP message or just a url request to a 3rd party API), you use GET because you want to get the response back. Otherwise POST is used the other way around, if you were the SOA framework and exposed your API, you'd want to take what's coming in (request) and process it....then you'd use POST.
Also, I did not I guess need the following lines:
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"; byte[] requestBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(request.ToString()); request.ContentLength = requestBytes.Length; using (Stream requestStream = request.GetRequestStream()) { requestStream.Write(requestBytes, 0, requestBytes.Length); requestStream.Close(); }Rick Matthys

Congrads on getting it resolved! As for your GET/POST definitions, it's not quite correct. The difference is that in GET, the name/value pairs are in the URL, where as POST embeds them in the http request. There are reasons to use both in both situations. Anyway, glad you got it fixed.

I have the same problem.
when I use HttpWebRequest.GetResponse() it throws error 500.
I can also say for sure that the request never reaches an invoked webmethod of the webservice since I perform it localy and debugger never stops in that method.
however adding a webreference and invoking its methods like Serive.Method() works fine.
I'm also 100% sure that XML I post is correct.
Please don't ask why do I use GetResponse if I can just add a reference.. I just have my reasons for that.
the question is why does it works with one webservice and throws 500th error with the other located on the very same machine.
I'm really frustrated.
Please help as soon as possible.
Thank you in advance.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
