That's what I was looking for. Thank you very much. Good job.
Been fooling around with this and noticed some unanswered questions above. Can only tell you what worked for me.
"I want to send a json string to the http server. How can I get the message from the request?"
I went with something like:
string payload = GetRequestPostData(ctx.Request);
Where you define that function like:
string GetRequestPostData(HttpListenerRequest request)
{
if (!request.HasEntityBody)
{
return null;
}
using (System.IO.Stream body = request.InputStream)
{
using (var reader = new System.IO.StreamReader(body, request.ContentEncoding))
{
return reader.ReadToEnd();
}
}
}
doesn't work with other Networks on the same Network for example a Phone.
I tried changing "url" to the local IP Address of the Machine Running the code, but this doesn't work for neither my Phone or my PC.
Does anyone have a Solution to this?
change localhost to something like + or *
e.g.
string url = $"http://+:8000/";
Your OS might complain about permissions though.
If so you can try something like: "netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:8000/ user=your_username_here"
hello world
thanks a lot !! ;)
