Communicate With An HTTPLISTENER That Have Created?
Dec 28, 2011I've got this code below that creates an HTTPLISTENER that is nicely waiting at listener.GetContext().How do I communicate with this from another VB app? I cannot seem to get WebRequest.Create to work with the URI that my HTTPLISTENER example is using. This line of code from a second app is not working:
Dim request As WebRequest = WebRequest.Create(prefixes(0))
Here is the code:

HttpListener Does Not Work Too Well
Sep 19, 2009I wrote a HttpListener console application just to test it. I have been able to get the Httplistener class to respond to request for the local host, but not for any other URL. Any ideas? All examples I have seen on the Web just parrot what's on MSDN but no one has actually said that they got it work for any other URL other than local host.
In my code, I will add a URL to listen to like:Prefixes.Add("http://junk1234:80/"It it registers just fine(no errors) but when I type in http://junk1234:80 in my browser, my application just sits there and does not respond.
This works just fine(+ is a wild card to listen to any URL):Prefixes.Add("http://+:8080/") Browser URL: Http://localhost:8080 But if I change the URL to Http://junk3333:8080, my Listener code does not see it even though it should see any URL on port 8080.
I am running on Vista Home Premium(.Net 3.5) but running my listener console app as a admin.

.net - HttpListener As A Windows Service?
Mar 28, 2011I have an httpListener exe that is working great. What I need to do now is make it a service (I think) so that when the server is rebooted, this program will start automatically. I found a few tutorials for making services and I got one installed, but when I started it, it said it took to long to respond. I was thinking that might be because I have a while true loop going in the onStart method.

Aug 14, 2009How do i allow the HttpListener in vb2005.net to allow outside access?
For testing purposes i have set it up to use the same ports as my webserver uses so there are no firewall issues.

it works just fine locally on the machine, but cant be reached by web browser on any other machine on my network
Reference Current Http Context When Using HttpListener?
Aug 6, 2011When using ASP we can reference HttpContext.Current from anywhere in the code to get at the current http context.
I want to do something similar using HttpListener, so that I can access GET/POST data etc from anywhere in my code. Can I reference some global object for this, or do I need to explicitly pass the current HttpListenerContext object all through my code?

VS 2008 How To Stop Async Operation (httplistener/begingetcontext)
Dec 30, 2011I've created an httplistener and I'm using the async method it has.Starts like this on a BUTTON click in my test app
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Dim prefixes() As String = {"http://*:8080/HttpListener/"}
StartRequests(prefixes)
End Sub
[code]....
This forces the callback to fire - for some reason that I don't quite understand and it gets this error...
Quote:
The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request at this line
Private Sub GetContextCallBack(ByVal result As IAsyncResult)
'Dim listener As HttpListener = CType(result.AsyncState, HttpListener)
Dim context As HttpListenerContext = m_listener.EndGetContext(result)
VS 2010 HTTPListener Of Large Memory Stream Vs File I/o
Feb 24, 2012I have a user interface app that allows you to drag/drop in files - and it turns them into HttpListener request POST's to another EXECUTABLE that I have running - let's call it BACKEND1. BACKEND1 will be running on a SERVER when this gets ready for production use. Lots and lots of users running the UI - all dragging in files - all getting POST'ed to BACKEND1 - with the file included as a memory stream in the POST. BACKEND1 responds to the UI with a "sequential" file number assigned to the file centrally on the server.
On the SERVER is also running another EXECUTABLE - let's call it BACKEND2. It's job is to work with the DRAG'd in files. Both BACKEND1 and BACKEND2 sit on the same SERVER. At the moment I am writing the memory stream to DISK in BACKEND1 - and POSTing the FILENAME to BACKEND2 for it to work on. Would it be better to not write the file in BACKEND1 but instead include it in the POST to BACKEND2 - where it can be written to DISK? Is having LARGE HTTP REQUEST's a burden when sent between two EXECUTABLES on the same machine?
My primary goal is to have a really available BACKEND1 talking the the UI instances running out in the world. I'm concerned that doing the file i/o in BACKEND1 is "expensive" - and I don't care about the performance of BACKEND2 as much. just looking for opinions. I guess ultimately I'll have to bench mark this myself in a production environment to get a real answer.

PHP Communicate With .net App?
Mar 15, 2010I'm working on a little app which needs to recieve information from a script on a web server. I tried to have the vb.net app pole a php web page for a command every half of a second. This worked but, the app is streaming video and every time the app needs to pole the webpage the video stutter stops. I tried setting the pole timer to 5 seconds and still every 5 seconds the video stutters. I thought that maybe sockets would be the answer, so I looked for examples of vb.net socket servers and php socket clients. I tried implementing a solution but the php cannot seem to connect to the vb.net server. I googled around and saw that maybe php cannot communicate with a vb.net application.

I have done some work with WCF and was considering using this but thought I would ask what others have done or would do.

Getting Objects To Communicate With Each Other?

.net - Communicate/Send Image To App?
Aug 12, 2010I am writing a VB.Net application wherein I would like to be able to communicate with it from a remote computer. Specifically, I would like to be able to send (from a remote computer) both text data and also images (jpg, png, etc.) and then have the application use the sent information by displaying it to the user. How would I code the VB.Net app to be able to handle incoming data like this?
If possible I'd like to not be dependent on .Net technology on the "sending" side so I'm not sure if I would just use sockets or a web service or what.
