I'm planning to build an application that will include users registration and so on.. I want to build a kind of social network application and i wonder how should I build my server and what is the right way to connect between the application and the server?
I know to build clients and servers in python and connect between them with sockets, but I realise that this is not the right way to do it in mobile applications..
someone told me I should learn something called SOA or web application server , I did not understand him so well,
I hope that you understand what I search for, thanks!
A good start is to create a REST-based backend service that exposes methods/operations via HTTP. Host the service on your server, and allow the app to communicate with the service. This service can send and receive data, typically in the JSON format, between the service and your app(s). Try looking here for some examples:
Python: https://www.sitepoint.com/building-simple-rest-api-mobile-applications/
.NET: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/web-api/overview/older-versions/build-restful-apis-with-aspnet-web-api

My customer has 2 Windows Server 2019.
On both of them, an instance of a SOAP Web Service is running.
URLs:
https://host1.domainname.com/SOAPService
and
https://host2.domainname.com/SOAPService
Now, the requirement of the customer is to provide a single, unique URL that the clients can use to consume the SOAP WebService(s).
I read through several websites and if I got it right, I need a tool that is called "reserve proxy"... Using this tool, clients can access the webservice by using an URL such as https://host.domainname.com/SOAPService and the tool will automatically route the request to the available webservice.
Correct?
I also have an architectural question:
On which machine do I have to run such a Reserve Proxy?
Is it on host1 or host2 or do I need a dedicated machine (like a supervisor)?
If it is a dediciated machine, how can I apply high availability of this Reverse Proxy? E.g. is it possible to run 2 Reserve Proxies in parallel on different machines? Which tool could afford this?
Thanks
I want to use web sockets because I need to notify my users when there is a new message for them. And I’ve done a lot of research and I’m pretty sure I need to use WebSockets for this problem.
I was able to connect to my backend with the following steps: https://www. playframework.com/documentation/2.2.x/ScalaWebSockets
This allows my frontend to connect to my backend and has received the answer from the backend.
But how is it possible to manage all currently active web socket connections? Is there a method that I can use to find all active connections? Or do I have to implement all this from scratch?
I am working with an iPhone application which interacts with a Web API. Since the endpoints are HTTPS, the data which communicates in-between the device and the Web API are suppose to be encrypted.
I am in need of finding every End-Points and the Data which communicates (Headers, Body Content) for each business scenario & for negative testing-flows.
Since the data which transmits are encrypted, I was unable to trace from the Fiddler which I tried while referring so several on-line tutorials.
(The reason why I am in need is because of I have got assigned to make a API Automation tool to simulate all the testing scenarios (happy-path, negative test-cases, etc))
Is there any better approach I can take to trace these API calls?
OR, is there a tool which I can try to trace these Web API calls which sends and receives from the iPhone?
TIA
Managed to get the Certificates for the HTTPS endpoints and added to the Certificate Manager (in a windows pc). Afterwards configured the proxy ports with fiddler echo service from the mobile device and was able to trace the HTTPs calls.
With the help of installing the certificates the HTTPS, intercepting the HTTPS is possible.
I'm working on a web application that will use Rhino Service Bus to send messages that are then consumed by a windows service on the app server. I've been able to test this on my machine (hosting the web app and the windows service) and it works fine. I was also able to test this in our dev environment, which has one web server and one app server, without any problems. However, our staging environment has two web servers and two app servers, so I'm not sure how to configure the endpoint to which the messages are sent.
I know I can edit the config section for each web server to point to one of the app servers. I can also put the windows service on only one machine and send everything to a queue on that machine. Neither of these sounds like a good option. What's the best practice in a scenario like this?
Any help would be appreciated.
It depends on which transport you're using. If you're using Rhino.Queues you can leverage hardware based load balancing + DNS. If you're using MSMQ, then you would need to use the MSMQ load balancer in RSB. You can find tests in the source that demonstrate this. Your workarounds that you mentioned would also work.
I have some code in .NET V2.0 that is talking to an asmx service
As a related issue I also have some code in the same winforms app that is doig BITS uploads
We are a very small shop and quite frankly do not have any sort of proxy server setup
But of course our clients will
I want to test with a proxy server sitting between my home FIOS connection and the internets and I want to test when auth information is required against the proxy server
Clearly the number of configurations in the wild are way many but any suggestions welcome
1) Any public proxy servers where I can create credential based accounts and test?
2) any catch all .NET solution like asking for creds setting them somehow on BITS uploads and asmx services and then just assuming they work 90% of the time
Thanks
You could run a proxy server on your own computer, then 'connect to yourself' as the proxy.
