WCF REST Service - Self Host Windows Service - How to use % in URL - rest

I have a REST WCF service that has a method that gets a parameter as a string
When I use the %23 in the Url I got an error message: Endpoint not found!
e.g:
-- Id #9999
http://localhost:8000/MyService/GetData/Id/%239999 (%23 means # symbol encoded)
If I use without % symbol it works fine
http://localhost:8000/MyService/GetData/Id/10
[ServiceContract]
public interface IService1
{
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method = "GET", ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, UriTemplate = "GetData/id/{id}")]
string GetData(string value);
}
I Host the Service on Windows Service:
ServiceHost host = new ServiceHost(typeof(Service1), "http://localhost:8000");
WebHttpBinding binding = new WebHttpBinding();
ServiceEndpoint endpoint = host.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(IService1), binding, "MyService");
WebHttpBehavior httpBehavior = new WebHttpBehavior();
endpoint.Behaviors.Add(httpBehavior);
host.Open();
I've found this post:
http://www.hanselman.com/blog/ExperimentsInWackinessAllowingPercentsAnglebracketsAndOtherNaughtyThingsInTheASPNETIISRequestURL.aspx but it doesn't work since I'm not hosting WCF on IIS I'm hosting it on Windows Service instead

I found the solution thanks to this thread:
How can I pass slash and other 'url sensitive' characters to a WCF REST service?
Solution:
<configuration>
<system.net>
<settings>
<httpListener unescapeRequestUrl="false"/>
</settings>
</system.net>
</configuration>

its not a best pratice to use some special chars in urls. please so consider not using them.
take a look at MSDN - UriTemplate

feign request microservice using domain url

I am invoking microservice api using feign like this now:
Response<List<AppResponse>> apps = appController.getApps();
And this is server side:
#RequestMapping(value = "/app")
#FeignClient(name = "soa-service")
public interface IAppController {
#GetMapping(value = "/list")
Response<List<AppResponse>> getApps();
}
Because the client side and server side registerd to eureka(the eureka could find the internal registed ip address),the invoke works fine.My question is : when the client and server not in one network(maybe the client not registed to eureka and deploy to external net). Is it possible to invoke microservice using domain url like "www.api.example.com/app/list"?
ps:I know one solution to change my invoke using okhttpclient,but the problem is: I must change all old feign invoke to new okhttp rest invoke.
#RequestMapping(value = "/app")
#FeignClient(name = "soa-service", url = "http://www.api.example.com/app/list")
public interface IAppController {
#GetMapping(value = "/list")
Response<List<AppResponse>> getApps();
}

how use application name replace ip:port about spring cloud eureka?

spring cloud eureka question: there are 3 microservices, 1 eureka server, 2 eureka client;
microservice A,B use annotation #EnableEurekaClient;
microservice A have a RESTful api "http://localhost:8080/hi". the api return "hello".
now, I call the api , use url "http://client/hi", but it doesn't work.
how use application name replace ip:port about spring cloud eureka?
the bootstrap.yml content:
spring:
application:
name: client
eureka:
client:
service-url:
defaultZone: http://${eureka.host:localhost}:${eureka.port:8761}/eureka/
There are many ways to do that and it depends on how you call REST API in your code.
If you are using RestTemplate to call the API, you can do that with #LoadBalanced RestTemplate
In your code that wants to invoke REST api, please define RestTemplate with #LoadBalanced like below.
#LoadBalanced
#Bean
RestTemplate restTemplate(){
return new RestTemplate();
}
And when you call API, just use application name instead of host:port like below.
this.restTemplate.getForObject("http://client/hi", String.class)
If you are using SpringCloud Feign, you can define the interface to call your REST api like below (without URL)
#FeignClient(name="client")
public interface ProductResource {
:
}
And add annotation #EnableFeignClients in your spring boot application like below.
#SpringBootApplication
#EnableFeignClients
: // other annotations you need.
public class YourAPIInvokerApplication {
In both ways, you need to add a few dependencies.
I'm using RestTemplate, but i got Connection timed out: connect after put serviceName instead of localhost:port
#Bean
#LoadBalanced
public RestTemplate restTemplate() {
return new RestTemplate();
}
call API:
FraudCheckResponse fraudCheckResponse = customerConfig.restTemplate().getForObject(
"http://fraud/api/v1/fraud-check/{customerId}",
FraudCheckResponse.class,
customer.getId()
);

Where to place configuration settings for Web API

I am using Web API and entity framework. Initially my connection string is in web.config file. Web API is hosted in IIS Server. Connection string will be encrypted by utility(executable not known may be third party) so when connection string will encrypt in web.config then API will restart again and we don't want to restart the API.
Can I keep all my settings in app.config instead of web.config to avoid restart of web API or registry is a good choice to keep connection string over config files?
I have used below code read connection string from app.config.
string codeBase = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase;
UriBuilder uri = new UriBuilder(codeBase);
string path = Uri.UnescapeDataString(uri.Path);
string configPath = Path.Combine(Path.GetDirectoryName(path), "database.config");
if (File.Exists(configPath))
{
var configMap = new ExeConfigurationFileMap
{
ExeConfigFilename = configPath
};
Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenMappedExeConfiguration(configMap, ConfigurationUserLevel.None);
string connectionString = config.ConnectionStrings.ConnectionStrings["DatabaseContext"].ToString();
}
Please suggest.

How can I force UriBuilder to use https?

I'm currently running Dropwizard behind Apache httpd acting as a reverse proxy, configured like so:
<VirtualHost *:443>
<Location /api>
ProxyPass "http://my.app.org:8080/api"
<Location>
...
</VirtualHost>
With other Location settings serving static assets and some authentication thrown in. Now, httpd also performs SSL offloading, so my Dropwizard only receives the plain HTTP request.
In my Dropwizard API, I like to return a Location header indicating newly created resources:
#Path("/comment")
#Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
#Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
class CommentResource() {
#PUT
fun create(#Context uri: UriInfo, entity: EventComment): Response {
val stored: EventComment = createEntity(entity)
return Response.created(uri.baseUriBuilder.path(MessageStream::class.java)
.resolveTemplate("realmish", entity.realmId)
.path(stored.id.toString()).build()).build()
}
This creates a Response with a Location header from JerseyUriBuilder:
Location http://my.app.org/api/messages/123
Which, on my SSL-only app, naturally fails to load (I'm actually surprised this didn't turn out to render as http://my.app.org:8080/api/messages/123 - probably also the reason why ProxyPassReverse didn't help).
I know I can force the scheme to be https by using baseUriBuilder.scheme("https"), but this gets repetitive and is an easy source of errors.
Thus my question: how can I either make Jersey generate correct front-end URLs or successfully make httpd rewrite those generated by Dropwizard?
For Jersey, you can use a pre-matching ContainerRequestFilter to rewrite the URI. For example
#PreMatching
public class SchemeRewriteFilter implements ContainerRequestFilter {
#Override
public void filter(ContainerRequestContext request) throws IOException {
URI newUri = request.getUriInfo().getRequestUriBuilder().scheme("https").build();
request.setRequestUri(newUri);
}
}
Then just register it with Jersey (Dropwizard)
env.jersey().register(SchemeRewriteFilter.class);
EDIT
The above only works when you use uriInfo.getAbsolutePathBuilder(). If you want to use uriInfo.getBaseUriBuilder(), then you need to use the overloaded setRequestUri that accepts the base uri as the first arg.
URI newUri = request.getUriInfo().getRequestUriBuilder().scheme("https").build();
URI baseUri = request.getUriInfo().getBaseUriBuilder().scheme("https").build();
request.setRequestUri(baseUri, newUri);
If using Jetty, then you can avoid the hacks by registering the org.eclipse.jetty.server.ForwardedRequestCustomizer with your server. This will look at the X-Forwarded-* headers to build the base URI.
Sample using embedded Jetty:
Server jettyServer = new Server();
HttpConfiguration config = new HttpConfiguration();
config.addCustomizer(new ForwardedRequestCustomizer());
ServerConnector serverConnector = new ServerConnector(jettyServer,
new HttpConnectionFactory(config));
serverConnector.setPort(8080);
jettyServer.setConnectors(new Connector[] {serverConnector});
This seems to work whether or not you are behind a reverse proxy, so I don't know why it isn't just enabled by default.

WCF Proxy Using Post Even Though WebGet Attribute is Specified (Only when called from another WCF service) - Causes 405 Error

I have a Restful WCF service sitting on another server configured with the WebGet attribute to respond to the HTTP Get method. I know the service works correctly because I can call the service directly through the browser and manually do a Get with Fiddler and receive a correct response.
I have an Asp.NET project on my local machine that is calling this service with the following code:
Proxy Interface 'IProductService':
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Web;
namespace Hugo.Infrastructure.Services.Products
{
[ServiceContract]
[XmlSerializerFormat]
public interface IProductService
{
[OperationContract(Name = "GetProductById")]
[WebGet(UriTemplate = "Products/Titles/{id}",
ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml,
RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml,
BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare)]
TitleDto GetTitleById(string id);
}
}
Implementation 'ProductService':
using System.ServiceModel;
namespace Hugo.Infrastructure.Services.Products
{
public class ProductService : ClientBase<IProductService>, IProductService
{
public TitleDto GetTitleById(string id)
{
return Channel.GetTitleById(id);
}
}
}
Related Web.config section:
<system.serviceModel>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true">
<baseAddressPrefixFilters>
</baseAddressPrefixFilters>
</serviceHostingEnvironment>
...
<client>
<endpoint address="http://server/directory/product.svc" bindingConfiguration="ProductServiceBinding" binding="webHttpBinding" behaviorConfiguration="productService" contract="Project.Infrastructure.Services.Products.IProductService" name="ProductServiceRest" />
</client>
<behaviors>
...
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="productService">
<webHttp />
</behavior>
...
</endpointBehaviors>
</behaviors>
</system.serviceModel>
This works fine when we call the method from a page within the project, however it errors out on this line return Channel.GetTitleById(id); when we call it from within a WCF service from the same project. The error we receive is an HTTP 405 'Method not allowed' error. When we look at the IIS logs on the remote server we see that the ProductService proxy is making an HTTP GET request when the method call is initiated from the page but it is making an HTTP POST request when the method is called from the WCF service. The POST method is not configured on the service, thus the 405 error.
Even when the page and the service are in the same folder and namespace we still receive the same error from the service. If we use a classic asmx soap service instead then a GET call is made and the service executes and responds correctly. If we manually do a get from the WCF service using the System.Net.WebRequest object, the service call succeeds.
Bottom line, the WCF client proxy tries to do a POST instead of a GET when used from within another WCF Rest service but works correctly when used from a page or pretty much anywhere else.
Help please!
