400 response suggests that your API request payload is not correct.
You can try this call using IPP provided .net devkit.

Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL: https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token during generating access token

I am using the admin sdk API to retrieve all G Suite users. We require an access token for this. AWS is used to host our website. I've tried a few different codes to generate access token, but they always return error
"Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL: https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token."
I have no idea why this error is occurring. My code is running smoothly, generating access token and retrieving every user domain wise in a local environment. Any help in why actually I am getting this error. have i missed something? any help in it.
This is my code.
private String getAccessToken()
{
String accessToken="";
try
{
Map<String,Object> params = new LinkedHashMap<>();
params.put("grant_type","refresh_token");
params.put("client_id",client_id);
params.put("client_secret",client_secret);
params.put("refresh_token",refresh_token);
StringBuilder postData = new StringBuilder();
for(Map.Entry<String,Object> param : params.entrySet())
{
if(postData.length() != 0)
{
postData.append('&');
}
postData.append(URLEncoder.encode(param.getKey(),"UTF-8"));
postData.append('=');
postData.append(URLEncoder.encode(String.valueOf(param.getValue()),"UTF-8"));
}
byte[] postDataBytes = postData.toString().getBytes("UTF-8");
URL url = new URL("https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token");
HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
con.setDoOutput(true);
con.setUseCaches(false);
con.setRequestMethod("POST");
con.getOutputStream().write(postDataBytes);
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()));
StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
for (String line = reader.readLine(); line != null; line = reader.readLine())
{
buffer.append(line);
}
JSONObject json = new JSONObject(buffer.toString());
accessToken = json.getString("access_token");
return accessToken;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
ex.printStackTrace();
}
return accessToken;

HttpWebRequest 500 internal error but SOAPUI Works

I got an error "The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error." with status code "ProtocolError"
HttpWebRequest webRequest = null;
XmlDocument soapEnvelopeXml = new XmlDocument();
string requestEnvelopeString = SerializerHelper.ToRequestEnvelopeString(request);
soapEnvelopeXml.LoadXml(requestEnvelopeString);
webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(<<endpointUrl>>);
webRequest.ContentType = "text/xml;charset=\"utf-8\"";
webRequest.Accept = "text/xml";
webRequest.Method = "POST";
webRequest.KeepAlive = true;
webRequest.ProtocolVersion = HttpVersion.Version11;
using (Stream stream = webRequest.GetRequestStream())
{
soapEnvelopeXml.Save(stream);
}
try
{
using (WebResponse webResponse = webRequest.GetResponse())
{
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(webResponse.GetResponseStream()))
{
string responseEnvelopeString = reader.ReadToEnd();
}
}
}
catch (WebException ex)
{
string exMessage = ex.Message;
}
When I send the requestEnvelopeString directly through SOAPUI, it works, could anyone suggest how to troubleshoot this?
Found out that the problem is SOAP-ACTION header missing, SOAPUI will auto add to the request.
Thanks

IPN Listner not working MVC3

We had faced same issue before I feel it may be because your MVC Application may be published in shared hosting environment Then you have to follow some step to to make MVC RC application works

Sending multiple parameters to POST method in .net:

I'm struggling to use POST method for RESTful services. My requirement is some parameters I need to append (not in the URL) and 2 parameters I need to read from file. The service is written in Java.
string url= "http://srfmdpimd2:18109/1010-SF-TNTIN/Configurator/rest/importConfiguration/"
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
FileStream file = new FileStream(#"TestSCDS.properties", FileMode.Open);
Byte[] bytes = new Byte[file.Length];
file.Read(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
string strresponse = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes);
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "multipart/form-data;";
request.ContentLength = file.Length;
request.Headers.Add("hhrr", "H010");
request.Headers.Add("env", "TEST");
request.Headers.Add("buildLabel", "TNTAL_05.05.0500_C54");
Stream Postdata = request.GetRequestStream();
Postdata.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();`
request.Headers.Add() is adding parameters to URL? If not, how can I send multiple parameters to POST method in restful services?
Also, how to read parameters from file and make use in POST method?
It needs a little leg work, encode a dictionary and put it in the body. Below is a quick sample:
private string Send(string url)
{
HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(url) as HttpWebRequest;
request.Method = "POST";
string postData = EncodeDictionary(args, false);
ASCIIEncoding encoding = new ASCIIEncoding();
byte[] postDataBytes = encoding.GetBytes(postData);
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
request.ContentLength = postDataBytes.Length;
using(Stream requestStream = request.GetRequestStream())
{
requestStream.Write(postDataBytes, 0, postDataBytes.Length);
}
using (HttpWebResponse response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse)
{
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
return reader.ReadToEnd();
}
}
private string EncodeDictionary(Dictionary<string, string> dict,
bool questionMark)
{
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
if (questionMark)
{
sb.Append("?");
}
foreach (KeyValuePair<string, string> kvp in dict)
{
sb.Append(HttpUtility.UrlEncode(kvp.Key));
sb.Append("=");
sb.Append(HttpUtility.UrlEncode(kvp.Value));
sb.Append("&");
}
sb.Remove(sb.Length - 1, 1); // Remove trailing &
return sb.ToString();
}
I don't know what your complete requirements are, but my strong suggestion is to "start simple".
Do not use "Content-type: multipart/form-data" unless you're sure you need it. Instead, start out with "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" (an old favorite) or "application/json" (even better).
Here is a nice little step-by-step example. You can find literally 100's more with a simple Google search:

Using .NET to get results from an API

I wanted to use the Rapidshare API in my .NET app, but I am confused on how you send the request and bring back the result. Do you use Winsock or another method?
URLs are like this:
http://api.rapidshare.com/cgi-bin/rsapi.cgi?sub=checkfiles_v1&files=288725357&filenames=my_upload.txt
Thanks.
Check out the System.Net namespace, specifically System.Net.WebClient.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.webclient(VS.80).aspx
Use the WebClient Class.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.webclient%28VS.80%29.aspx
You can use this class to programatically interact with webpage. Here's some example code to log into a website. You can adapt this to interact with their web API:
HttpWebRequest request;
HttpWebResponse response;
CookieContainer cookies;
string url = "http://www.jaxtr.com/user/login.jsp";
try
{
request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
request.AllowAutoRedirect = true;
request.CookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
if (response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK)
{
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
while (!reader.EndOfStream)
{
sb.AppendLine(reader.ReadLine());
}
//Get the hidden value out of the form.
String fp = Regex.Match(sb.ToString(), "\"__fp\"\\svalue=\"(([A-Za-z0-9+/=]){4}){1,19}\"", RegexOptions.None).Value;
fp = fp.Substring(14);
fp = fp.Replace("\"", String.Empty);
cookies = request.CookieContainer;
//response.Close();
String requestString = "http://www.jaxtr.com/user/Login.action?tzOffset=6&navigateURL=&refPage=&jaxtrId=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(credentials.Username) + "&password=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(credentials.Password) + "&Login=Login&_sourcePage=%2Flogin.jsp&__fp="+HttpUtility.UrlEncode(fp);
request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(requestString);
request.CookieContainer = cookies; //added by myself
response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
Console.WriteLine("Response from login:" + response.StatusCode);
String messageText = (message.TruncateMessage && message.MessageText.Length > JaxtrSmsMessage.MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH ? message.MessageText.Substring(JaxtrSmsMessage.MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH) : message.MessageText);
String messageURL = "http://www.jaxtr.com/user/sendsms?CountryName=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(message.CountryName) + "&phone=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(message.DestinationPhoneNumber) + "&message=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(messageText) + "&bySMS=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(message.BySMS.ToString().ToLower());
request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(messageURL);
request.CookieContainer = cookies;
response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
Console.WriteLine("Response from send SMS command=" + response.StatusCode);
StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
using (Stream s = response.GetResponseStream())
{
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(s);
while (!sr.EndOfStream)
{
output.AppendLine(sr.ReadLine());
}
}
response.Close();
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Client was unable to connect!");
}
}
catch (System.Exception e)
{
throw new SMSDeliveryException("Unable to deliver SMS message because "+e.Message, e);
}
This particular code logs into Jaxtr, a SMS messaging service, and sends an SMS message.
