In my app I have added custom menu items to user timeline items. So if user select the menu, a request supposed to send to server from glass. My question is how can I receive and parse this request in java servlet page?
Here is my code for custom menu
// And custom actions
List<MenuValue> menuValues = new ArrayList<MenuValue>();
menuValues.add(new MenuValue().setIconUrl(WebUtil.buildUrl(req, "/static/images/drill.png")).setDisplayName("Found"));
menuItemList.add(new MenuItem().setValues(menuValues).setId("found").setAction("CUSTOM"));
timelineItem.setMenuItems(menuItemList);
timelineItem.setNotification(new NotificationConfig().setLevel("DEFAULT"));
At present am testing in development mode. To test this should I need to deploy my app or no need?
I using Java in server side. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
You will need to have your Glassware on a server that is able to receive HTTPS connections from the public Internet. If you have it on a private server, or on a server without HTTPS, you will need to setup a tunnel.
To actually get the callback, you need to subscribe to the user's timeline using the subscriptions.insert endpoint. There is a sample Java method on that page which you can use to make the call. The URL you provide will need to be an HTTPS URL that Google's servers can reach and should resolve to a servlet that returns an OK status. See https://developers.google.com/glass/develop/mirror/contacts#subscribing_to_sharing_notifications for more about what your server needs to do.

How to use a variable directly in Http Request Endpoint?
If you close the activity configuration Wizard, your activity will still be there and you can fine tune the configuration freely in the Properties panel. In your case, configuring the Endpoint by using a variable.
Example
I have set up a section on my Drupal 7 site to show press releases that are fetched from a remote service through a REST API. It works fine to fetch and show all press items via a very specific POST request.
But I have no luck when I want to fetch just one specific press item, which according to the API docs shall be done with a GET request.
In order to see what happens I want to view the GET request to the remote URL in Chrome, but I can't figure out how.
This is how I do it: when opening the page where I want to show only one full press item:
On my press item page...
https://examplesite.com/newsroom/pressrelease
... I have a custom block where this code is run:
$item_id = (int)$_GET['item_id'];
// Fetch specific pressRelease from remote API with custom token
$headers = array('Custom-Token'=>'[custom-token]', 'Accept'=>'text/json', 'Content-Type'=>'text/json');
$url = "https://[remote newsroom url/]$item_id";
dpm($url);
$options=array(
'method'=>'GET',
'headers'=>$headers
);
$result=drupal_http_request($url, $options);
dpm($result);
$data = json_decode($result->data, true);
dpm($data);
With my dpm statements I can see the request on the page, but I would really like to see the actual request and response in Chrome dev tools (under the Network tab). But there is nothing to be found. I have tried using extensions like Live HTTP Headers, with no luck. Only the request to view the local page is shown not the remote one.
How can I see the http request to the remote URL in Chrome or Firefox?
EDITED... the problem might be that the request is done while the page is generated on the server side, before it is loaded on my site?
The code that you are executing, lies on the server and cannot be viewed from network tools of the browser, The browser developer tools will be able to track only those request that are made directly from your browser, in the form of AJAX request etc.
In order to view the actual request, you need to use a network proxy like Charles or Fiddler on your server which will track all HTTP network traffic from your server.
Is there a way to get the server url (ex: http://www.myapp.com:8080/applicationFolder) without having access to a Request object ?
I need the url at aplication_start and in some classes where the Request object with all the goodies is not available.
note: I know that getting the application folder can be done using
VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute("~/");
HttpContext.Current.Request is a static property that always returns the Request object currently executing for the session.
I think all you need a custom solution to know when first request is made after application starts, and then you can send any email you want.. this is the similar problem with solution here http://weblogs.asp.net/reganschroder/archive/2008/07/25/iis7-integrated-mode-request-is-not-available-in-this-context-exception-in-application-start.aspx this do first initialization check in BeginRequest event.
There can be many different addresses all pointing to the same ASP.NET website, like using IP address or name. There might be more than 1 DNS name pointing to the same ASP.NET application. Therefore, HttpApplication, the parent class of Global, does not know which URL a visitor will use. Even IIS doesn't know. Therefore, you have to wait for the first request and then check in the request what URL the visitor uses to access your site. Something like this:
string baseUrl = Context.Request.Url.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority);
One has to use Context to get access to the Request during Global.Application_Start, because Global.Request is not initialised yet.
I have an ASP MVC3 website with a rest API service.
When a user passes in an invalid API or they have been blacklisted i wish to ignore the response.
I know I could send back a 404 or pass back an 503 but if someone keeps polling me then I would ideally like to ignore the response causing a time-out their end. Thus delaying the hammering my server gets.
Is this possible within ASP.net MVC3? If so any help would be most appreciated.
Thank you
For what you want, you still need to parse the request, so it will always consume server resources, specially if you have an annoying user sending a query every 500ms...
In this situations you would block the IP / Header of the request for a period of, for example 10 minutes, but it would be a very good idea to block it on your load balancer and prevent that request that even reach your application, this is easily accomplish if you're using Amazon Services to run your Service, but all other cloud provider do support this as well, if by any means you are using a cloud hosting.
if you can only use your web application, and this is a solution that is not tested, you could add an ignored route to your routing mechanism like:
routes.IgnoreRoute("{*allignore}", new {allignore=#".*\.ignore(/.*)?"});
and upon check that the IP is banned, simple redirect using for example Response.Redirect() to your site, to a .ignore path... or, why not redirecting that request to google.com just for the fun of it?
I have .net application and I want to ping some webservices and show the status on a webpage.
I tried ping but i am getting "No such host in known".
But the ping works for a url or ip but not working for a service.
Please put ideas here
UPDATE:
I used HttpWebResponse and request. I am getting 401 unauthorized.
Use a head HTTP verb to check. "This method is often used for testing hypertext links for validity, accessibility, and recent modification."
What are you pinging? If you want to check to see if a webservice is there, then just navigate to the full URL of the service and see if you get a page not found or not. In a webpage, you could even get fancy and check it using an ajax request (look up Microsoft.XMLHTTP)
Funny you should ask this because every webservice I have developed, the first method I add to it is ping :) which returns it's state in a one liner that can be displayed on a form.
What if you try to ping the Web Service address instead of the entire End Point? Basically an EndPoint is composed by an Address an a location.Let's suppose you have the following Web Service called CustomerService.svc.
http://myserver.somedomain.com/services/CustomerService.svc
You should try the ping to the address which is myserver.somedomain.com.Also you should consider that some servers have the ping command disabled.
You can download an application such as WCF Storm or SOAP UI that will act as a client to your WCF service. Both have free versions, I believe. They will let you construct an XML request to test the service.
Also, I like to put an actual Ping method in my services that receives an int and returns a string with the same int and a timestamp. It's not strictly necessary, but it helps as a sanity check in a pinch.
