HttpWebRequest.GetResponse And HttpWebResponse Freezes?
Sep 20, 2011
I'm currently working on making a database driven app without using SQL and instead using a simplistic web directory to store information.Unfortunately after just beginning I hit a rock wall on creating a login screen. As it works right now, every user has a directory and within that directory is file called "access" which has a password. While I'm aware that's it not secure, that's later to come, but right now I'd just like it to work. But the program uses WebRequest to see whether or not there is a directory under the given username, if there is then the username is considered valid and it moves on to check the password- where I start to have trouble. The password verification uses WebRequest and WebResponse as well, using StreamReader to read the access file. At the moment, the password checker only works once in a single program instance. Otherwise trying to check another login will cause the program to hang or freeze when declaring the WebResponse variable (resp).
This is the password verification code (with URL's removed):
Dim Username As String = My.Settings.usrUsername'The function is in a BackgroundWorker so I use My.Settings to communicate with the UI.
Dim Password As String
Dim usrPassword As String = My.Settings.usrPassword

I tried using suggestions from other posts for this and still no resolution. When sending a POST request, at times it will just begin to freeze and stall. I set up my code as follows and now basically if I cannot figure out why it is freezing, then itneeds to timeout, handle the exception and restart the function.
For i As Integer = 0 To searchItems.Count - 1
If uri.Scheme = uri.UriSchemeHttps Then
Dim request As HttpWebRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create(url)

I'm having a ridiculous time trying to get an SMS API working (ZeepMobile, if you're interested) with .NET... I've been around .NET for a few years, but with all this social networking and API stuff, I need to get into the HttpWebRequest a bit. I'm new at it, but not completely new; I was able to hook up my site to Twitter without too much fuss (ie, I was able to modify someone's code to work for me).
Anyways, the way their API works is to send an SMS message, you send them a POST and they respond back to you. I can send it just fine, but every time I do, rather than echo back something helpful to figure out what the error is, I get the Yellow Error Page Of Death (YEPOD) saying something to the effect of "The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request." This occurs on my line:
'...creation of httpwebrequest here...'
Dim myWebResponse As WebResponse
myWebResponse = request.GetResponse() '<--- error line
Is there any way to simply receive the error from the server rather than have the webserver throw an exception and give me the YEPOD?
EDIT: Here's my whole code block:
Public Shared Function SendTextMessage(ByVal username As String, _
ByVal txt As String) As String
Dim content As String = "user_id=" + _
username + "&body=" + Current.Server.UrlEncode(txt)

Am I missing anything? It stops and throws that error on the line that calls GetResponse()?

I have a program that will register you for a certain website using textboxes and stuff but I have an invisible web browser and it just enters the text into the right spots and clicks the button.I was told that I can get rid of the web browser and do the whole thing faster and easier using "HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse".

I'm trying to set a near-infinite timeout value on a WebRequest, considering that the HTTP-based API which I'm querying already graciously handles timeouts by sending back an XML document that declares a timeout. For some reason though, the following code still throws an exception:

I'm trying to download a file using ftp and then using a streamreader to read it and write it to a text file. The problem is, when I download the file and read it, either it did not get all the data or it stops writing the data to the local file and doesnt produce any error, it just sits there. I've tried it with many different files from the ftp site and this always happens.
Private Sub Download(ByVal stateURI As String, ByVal userName As String, ByVal pWord As String)

I am having trouble with receiving bytes using HttpWebResponse.I can receive them just fine with WebClient, which I believe is just a wrapper for HttpWebResponse.Anyway, I put together some example code to re-create the situation. [code] If you just paste it into a empty Form1 and hit F5, it will create all controls automatically.I would use WebClient, but I want to get one byte at a time so I can have a detailed progress indicator, and I couldn't find any way to do that with WebClient.WebClient SendDataAsync has some serious problems where it only fires its progress update events like 3 times.Also, you will see if you press the button, it takes like 20 seconds of doing absolutely nothing, and then all of a sudden it downloads all the data in like a split second.If you press the button again and again, it only takes a split second.But the first time you push it, it takes for ever.Does anyone know why and how to fix that? [code] for the sake of all that is good and holy, don't use ACCESS, EXCEL, or a TEXT FILE as a database.If you want your program to use a "local database", without any of the hassle of setting up a MS SQL or MySQL server, just click this link: >>> SQLite <<<

what method should I be using to obtain all the form input elements during an httpwebresponse?I know that posting back to them can be done via editing the response using textbox1.text...but how can I obtain the input values during my request without having to manually go behind the scenes and peek at the html code?

Looking for the best way to determine if a URI exists in VB.NET without downloading the actual content. System.IO.FileExists/My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists can be used locally to determine if a file exists, is there an equivalent for the Web?
Currently I am using a HttpWebRequest to check URI existance using the ResponseStream. This populates the stream if the target does exist and throws an exception if it doesn't. The function is being expanded to also check for PDF files (typically 5MB +), images, etc and it will be a waste of time/bandwidth to actually populate the content into a stream.
In the case of "Success" (the target does exist) I do not wish to download the file or page, simply to end up with a Boolean which indicates the whether something exists at the end of this URI.

I am stuck in showing images of a requested webpage using Httpwebrequest/httpwebresponse (VB.net) classes. I can make calls to get the target webpage and display the result but it doens't show the images.
What I come to know through googling, is one way to add <base href="target webpage url"> tag in <head> section of resultant strings received through httpwebresponse and the display the modified result. For this purpose someone suggested me using Html Agility Pack.
I did some job but couldn't complete. my code snippet is as under
Dim HWR As HttpWebRequest = TryCast(WebRequest.Create("http://www.example.com"), HttpWebRequest)
Dim RequestWriter As New StreamWriter(HWR.GetRequestStream())

I have a datagridview which fetches data from a local SQL server. Now, I have a setting called My.Settings.database_url which indicates the hostname of the SQL server.
Now, the problem is that if the host name is incorrect, instead of getting an error, the app just freezes. So what must I change in order to fix that?[code]...

Firstly I want to state this doesn't affect the usability of my program. I made a GUI for an old cmd line program and when running the GUI's form will freeze up and be completely unresponsive. This is annoying since you can't move the form and if you open something over the form then move/close it you get the affect in the attached pic. Attached pic is the program running and the windows calculator being moved around over it.
Is there a way I can have the form stay responsive while the program is running? I don't need for any of the buttons, text boxes, etc to be editable while the program is running.

I have created a custom video player in C#. This player has two forms.
1. The Video Player window ( running in primary (UI) thread )
2. The content playing window (running in a secondary thread)
Everything goes fine for nearly 5-6 hours, then the main video player window freeze. So I cannot access any of the buttons (stop, pause ,exit) in the player. But the secondary thread keeps playing the files for even two days continuously (which is the max I tested).
Things I have checked :
1. There is no memory issue, since I dispose the objects I create after playing each file (few min videos). I have checked the process in task manager, where status is running and memory usage as same as it is started.
2. I have used Begin Invoke from secondary thread to update the current playing file in the list box on the main video player window (once the main window freeze, the update is not visible).
3. I have used a timer in the main video player window and tried refreshing form, calling Application.Do Event() for every few minutes, still it gets freeze up after 5-6 hours.
Why the UI window freeze up? Is my architecture for the player is wrong? (I need to do lots of processing in secondary thread for the images and videos to be played, but it is working fine).

I have an application which runs quite good, only once every X minutes it totally freezes, and even when running debug mode from within the VS2005 IDE, Visual studio becomes unresponsive. After pressing the pause-button to see where the app might be stuck, a messagebox saying "Unable to break execution" might pop-up after a minute or two. My app uses some timers, threads, and threadpool calls. So I'm afraid I got a deadlock somewhere, although I can not find it. Is there any way to find out where my app might hang?
Note: I synclocked every routine with a dedicated object, and for queues or arraylists, I even used the synchronized methods to modify them. I don't use recursive routines, so they cannot deadlock themselves. The strange thing (to me) is that all of my app hangs, none of the threads seems to be running, nor background, nor the GUI and even the VS environment.

In a function I have
Do Until PageLoaded() = True
{
Nothing
}
The problem is it freezes up the program and makes it unusable. I fixed it using timers but it makes my program real sloppy and hard to edit.

I'm trying to find a way to make backgroundworker do what's in the webbrowser. There is a time-consuming part in the webbrowserdocumentcompleted event that I want backgroundworker to tackle. Unfortunately, I don't know how to link that part to backgroundworker so that BW can do that job instead of webbrowser.
Here's what in the webbrowserdocumentcompleted event:
Sub WebBrowser1DocumentCompleted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs) Handles WebBrowser1.DocumentCompleted
If CheckBox1.Checked = True Then
[CODE]...
The time consuming part starts from line 2 to line 30. My program freezes whenever webbrowser tries to do this job, so I need BW to do this specific job instead.

I am checking if one of the function keys is pressed in the KeyDown event of a TextBox using the following
If e.KeyCode >= Keys.F1 And e.KeyCode <= Keys.F12 Then
'do something here
End If
This works fine, except when I press F10 the cursor in the textbox freezes (ie. stops blinking) & doesn't free up until another key is pressed. Does Windows use this key for some other functionality that causes this behavior?
