i tried to connect REST web servie from windows phone 8 application.
it was working proberly for weeks but after no change in it I get this generic error :
System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: NotFound.
i tried to test it by online REST Clients and services works properly
i tried to handle Exception and parse it as webException by this code :
var we = ex.InnerException as WebException;
if (we != null)
{
var resp = we.Response as HttpWebResponse;
response.StatusCode = resp.StatusCode;
and i get no more information and final response code is : "NotFound"
any one have any idea about what may cause this error?
there is already a trusted Certificate implemented on the server . the one who has the server suggested to have a DNS entry for the server, this entry should be at the customer DNS or in the phone hosts file .that what i done and worked for awhile but now it doesn't work however i checked that there is no thing changed
this is sample for Get Request it works proberly on Windwos Store apps :
async Task<object> GetHttps(string uri, string parRequest, Type returnType, params string[] parameters)
{
try
{
string strRequest = ConstructRequest(parRequest, parameters);
string encodedRequest = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(strRequest);
string requestURL = BackEndURL + uri + encodedRequest;
HttpWebRequest request = HttpWebRequest.Create(new Uri(requestURL, UriKind.Absolute)) as HttpWebRequest;
request.Headers["applicationName"] = AppName;
request.Headers["applicationPassword"] = AppPassword;
if (AppVersion > 1)
request.Headers["applicationVersion"] = AppVersion.ToString();
request.Method = "GET";
request.CookieContainer = cookieContainer;
var factory = new TaskFactory();
var getResponseTask = factory.FromAsync<WebResponse>(request.BeginGetResponse, request.EndGetResponse, null);
HttpWebResponse response = await getResponseTask as HttpWebResponse;
// string s = response.GetResponseStream().ToString();
if (response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK)
{
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(returnType);
object obj = serializer.Deserialize(response.GetResponseStream());
return obj;
}
else
{
var Instance = Activator.CreateInstance(returnType);
(Instance as ResponseBase).NetworkError = true;
(Instance as ResponseBase).StatusCode = response.StatusCode;
return Instance;
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return HandleException(ex, returnType);
}
}
i tried to monitor connections from Emulator and i found this error in connection :
**
Authentication failed because the remote party has closed the transport stream.
