The provided URI scheme ‘http’ is invalid; expected ‘https

Posted by shawson in .net, C#.net, VB.net, Web Services on June 30th, 2009

Going from dev to live, where the dev system referenced dev version of web services, but the live system has to reference live versions which are HTTPS i recieved this error;

The provided URI scheme ‘http’ is invalid; expected ‘https

This is resolved simply by updating the web.config file and setting the security tag’s mode attribute from None to Transport;

<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="WSHttpBinding_IWSHttpService" closeTimeout="00:01:00"
openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00"
bypassProxyOnLocal="false" transactionFlow="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxReceivedMessageSize="65536"
messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" useDefaultWebProxy="true"
allowCookies="false">
<readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="8192" maxArrayLength="16384"
maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />
<reliableSession ordered="true" inactivityTimeout="00:10:00"
enabled="false" />
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="None" proxyCredentialType="None"
realm="" />
<message clientCredentialType="None" negotiateServiceCredential="true"
algorithmSuite="Default" establishSecurityContext="true" />
</security>
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>

Quick XML serialisation of an object..

Posted by shawson in .net, C#.net, Web Services, XML on June 25th, 2009

Quick code snippet for taking a serialisable object, serialising to XMl then spitting out a string for you to write out to a debug log or something- i used this for spitting back the responses I was getting from a web service call i was making

            StringBuilder sb_xml = new StringBuilder();
            XmlSerializer s = new XmlSerializer( typeof( Hachette.Checkout.Vista.Stock.ProductStockLiteResultResponse ) );
            StringWriter w = new StringWriter(sb_xml);
            s.Serialize(w, ws_response);
            w.Close();
            Response.Write("<!-- Response = " + sb_xml + " -->");
