I'm desperately in need of a working example of a WCF 4 RESTful web service. Our SaaS ticketing system (zendesk.com) can communicate with an URL target using HTTP GET, POST or PUT. I have not done any web related work (only c# console apps) but have now been tasked to create a WCF 4 web service with the following requirements:
- Secured via HTTPS
- Secured via username / password
Read and process the data from the SaaS system that is transmitted as application/x-www-form-urlencoded information, for example:
http://somedomain/a/path?value=message+with+placeholders+evaluated
My current code is as follows:
namespace WcfService2
{
[ServiceContract]
public interface IService1
{
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke]
void ClearAlert(Stream input);
}
}
namespace WcfService2
{
public class Service1 : IService1
{
public void ClearAlert(Stream input)
{
StreamReader rawTicketData = new StreamReader(input);
string ticketData = rawTicketData.ReadToEnd();
rawTicketData.Dispose();
//Do some work with ticketData
}
}
}
The web.config file:
<services>
<service behaviorConfiguration="MetaDataBehavior" name="WcfService2.Service1">
<endpoint behaviorConfiguration="RestBehavior" binding="webHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="" name="REST" contract="WcfService2.IService1" />
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="RestBehavior">
<webHttp />
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
<behaviors>
I am currently using only HTTP (not HTTPS) for development and testing hence the missing binding entry / entries for HTTPS as well as any entries for login purposes in the web.config, at least I assume that is what / where I need to add the needed configuration but again, I have no knowledge.
I would more than appreciate any help / assistance I can get in creating a web service with the three above described requirements.
Thanks to all!
