wcf - Row Coding

The remote server returned an unexpected response: (413) Request Entity Too Large.

For the record I think I got it. The Web.Config from the service does not have the binding information. I placed this info in it, and voila! <bindings> <basicHttpBinding> <binding maxBufferPoolSize=”2147483647″ maxBufferSize=”2147483647″ maxReceivedMessageSize=”2147483647″ messageEncoding=”Text”> <readerQuotas maxDepth=”2000000″ maxStringContentLength=”2147483647″ maxArrayLength=”2147483647″ maxBytesPerRead=”2147483647″ maxNameTableCharCount=”2147483647″ /> </binding> </basicHttpBinding> </bindings> Note here that the binding did not have a name specified.

ProtocolException Unhandled/(405) Method not allowed with WCF; Bindings and Endpoints look right though

by Tarik

The reason it works when you go to the base address (.svc) is that this is an HTTP GET operation to get the metadata for the service. When you call a method on your service contract, you’re doing a POST operation and more than likely you just don’t have this feature enabled. Depending on the …

Fiddler not sniffing SOAP traffic from ASP.NET website

by Tarik

What’s the client of the web service? ASP.NET? ASP.NET traffic isn’t proxied unless you configure ASP.NET to use a proxy. It’s possible/likely that the app.config or machine.config changed such that traffic is no longer getting proxied? You should have a look at this section: http://www.fiddlerbook.com/fiddler/help/hookup.asp#Q-DOTNET

WCF stops responding after about 10 or so calls (throttling)

by Tarik

The default number of allowed concurrent connections is 10. Most likely your client is not closing the connections. To increase the number of concurrent calls, you will have to add your behavior to the service configuration, not the client.

How can I return json from my WCF rest service (.NET 4), using Json.Net, without it being a string, wrapped in quotes?

by Tarik

I finally figured out a solution to this. It’s not what I would have preferred (which would be to return the specific object type, and somehow instruct WCF to use a Json.Net serializer, instead of the DataContractJsonSerializer), but it is working great, and it’s simple and clear. Extending my contrived example using this new solution: …

What’s the difference between WCF Web API and ASP.NET Web API

by Tarik

Ive done a little more reading around this and found a few pages by MS people on this: http://wcf.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=How%20to%20Migrate%20from%20WCF%20Web%20API%20to%20ASP.NET%20Web%20API : The WCF Web API abstractions map to ASP.NET Web API roughly as follows WCF Web API -> ASP.NET Web API Service -> Web API controller Operation -> Action Service contract -> Not applicable Endpoint -> …

Why does the ASP.Net MVC model binder bind an empty JSON array to null?

by Tarik

I think that some of the other answers have missed the meaning of the question: why does the default MVC model binder bind an empty Json array to null instead of an empty C# array? Well, I can’t tell you why they did that, but I can show you where it happens. The source for …

basicHttpBinding vs wsHttpBinding [duplicate]

by Tarik

Ton of material on that out there – just google for “WCF basicHttpBinding wsHttpBinding”. You’ll find amongst others: WCF : BasicHttpBinding compared to WSHttpBinding at SOAP packet level. Difference between BasicHttpBinding and WsHttpBinding and many, many more! Very basically: basicHttp is SOAP 1.1, wsHttp is SOAP 1.2 (they’re quite different, esp. when it comes to …

ASP.NET Web Api vs Node.js

by Tarik

I have just recently started working on express.js. Let me tell you it’s not for the fainthearted. The whole mentality of “If you are already familiar with JS then that’s half the battle.” really couldn’t be further from the truth. I.E. if you are a hardcore devops guy like me. I have a unified build …
