I have a Windows Phone 8 app. My app needs to POST some data to a web page that I have on my server. Please note, I am trying to POST to a web page, not a web service. The reason that I need to POST to a web page is because 1) I'm trying to render some contents in a web page that is currently launched via a WebBrowserTask 2) I am passing a large amount of data to the web page.
From what I can tell, the WebBrowserTask only allows "GET". Now, I'm totally lost in regards to what to do. Is there a was to POST data via a WebBrowserTask? If not, is there a way to serialize my data as JSON and cram it into the query string? I know that's ugly. At the same time, I'm not sure what else to do.
Thank you
Try adding a WebBrowser control then make your request through either WebClient or HttpWebRequest. Once you get the html response use the NavigateToString(string) method to display the result.
But you can simply use the Navigate(uri) method if you only need to specify some query string params.

I know this is not source code problem. But maybe this place is the only one I'm thinking bout.
I got mail from some hacker maybe that he got the list of API that exist in my webpage.
He use BurpSuite to get the traffic of the web process. But somehow he get the API that used in the web.
Now I'm trying to intercept my own web. But It's only show the outer process, such as list of controllers and function. But how to show the list of API also. He can show the token and also the endpoint of the API. Is there any setting to do first?
I want to create a web application using react in which I want to load a page based on the link used, But I know that in react whenever you visit a direct link the entire app is reloaded and you have to navigate to that page using buttons or links provided in the app, I want to generate a temporary link for users which will contain the information about the data to be provided which the back end will check and retrieve from database and provide to the front end, This link will have a duration like for 24 hrs or something and will have an auth token, Can anyone please help me with how I can do that?
React Router is a library that can handle this type of operation and is used in many, many apps. Among other things, it can parse URLs and render different content based on the URL, query parameters, and more.
How do I correctly handle the login/authentication scenario for an Azure web app in my VS2015 web performance test?
I created an XML file as a data source for the WAAD username and password. I bind the username and password to the Form Post Parameters: login and passwd respectively at request: https://login.microsoftonline.com/xxxx/login
But when I run the test, the Web Browser tab shows this error:
We can't sign you in
Your browser is currently set to block JavaScript. You need to allow
JavaScript to use this service.
To learn how to allow JavaScript or to find out whether your browser
supports JavaScript, check the online help in your web browser.
I also get a number of errors like this:
The value of the ExpectedResponseUrl property
Validation xxxx.azurewebsites.net/xxxx/docs/xxxx.aspx does
not equal the actual response URL
login.microsoftonline.com/xxxx/wsfed. QueryString
parameters were ignored.
Any idea how I can successfully log in to the Azure web app via the web performance test?
There are several methods of login and authentication that can be used. Just binding values to form post parameters may not be sufficient or correct. You will find the login form has hidden session identities that must be passed as well as the login data. I find that recording a test two times using as nearly as possible the same inputs and doing the same activities helps. These two tests can then be compared to find the dynamic data that needs to be handled.
In a comment the questioner added "I noticed these parameters, n1-43 are different but I have no idea what they represent. How do I handle them?". I can have no idea what they represent as I do not know the website you are testing. You could ask the website developers. Or, better, treat them as dynamic data. Find where the values come from, save them into context variables and use them as needed. This is basic web test development. Here and here are two good articles on what to do.
The message about JavaScript not being supported can be ignored. Visual Studio web tests do not support JavaScript or any other "active" parts of a web page, they only support the html part. Your job as a tester is to simulate what the JavaScript does for the specific user journeys you are testing. That simulation is generally just filling in the correct values (via context parameters) in the recorded requests.
Unexpected response urls can be due to earlier failures, such as teh login not working. I suggest not worrying about them until all of the other test problems are solved. Then, if you need help ask another new question.
I read in an article that odata can be used for different combination of clients/servers.
Say I would like to develop a web application where i store data(say information about all mobile products on market) using mongoDB and use python as backend with Bottle framework to access data through browser as GET.
Then i decide to extend web app as android app. i can extend it to android without any code change on server side.
My doubt is does using odata here helps in any way? Say if i want to extend it to other clients?
Yes, you are right, you don't need to change even a single line of code on the server side if you change a client app. OData defines many conventions for the communications between the client and the server. such as:
What the URL looks like if you want to query some data
http://services.odata.org/V4/OData/OData.svc/Products?$filter=ID gt 2&$select=ID,Name,Rating,Price&$orderby=Price desc
Which http method should be used to Create/Retrieve/Update/Delete an entity
Generally speaking, Post for Create, Get for Retrieve, Patch/Put for Update, Delete for Delete.
What the payload looks like.
How to invoke a function/action
As long as the requests conform to these conventions, the server side always returns the predictable responsese regardless whether the clients is a browser or a mobile device.
I also find the examples for the odata:
https://aspnet.codeplex.com/SourceControl/latest#Samples/WebApi/OData/v4/ .
Hope this helps you.
I am trying to scrape a oracle adf faces rich client webpage but I am not getting the best of luck, I login automatically using node.js request module but after that I can't get to any other page with request. I get stuck on redirects, the loop script or simply don't get information I expect to.
I am using Wireshark to view every page and the way it handles, I recreate the page to match headers and even size but everytime the framework denies me access.
Before you ask, it's legal and I am not breaking any terms of service. Just trying to make a web api to speed up a process. I have used phantomjs with casperjs but get stuck on ajax calls that don't show on page and php curl but it's much easier with java.
Any suggestions are really really appreciated.
My bad on this one, wireshark was displaying fields as truncated, if you want to see the full field you need to right click the packet and click follow TCP stream, rich clients have very long posts generated by the framework behind the rich client and it appears I was missing about half of them when I did the calls.
