WCF web service call time out
.net, c#, wcf, web-services, wsdl
Solution
So I ended up configure Fiddler2 to sniff my SoapUI request and compare it against my application request. In the the Application request header I saw the following:
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
SOAPAction: ""
Host: engage.ext-inc.com
Content-Length: 1036
**Expect: 100-continue**
That Expect:100-continue is not in the SoapUI request which successfully sent out and got the response. With this in mind I took the SoapUI request in Fiddler and compose a new one base on it...except I put in Expect:100-continue and guess what, I received no response.
Upon reading about it I came across this link
And voila, upon putting ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = false; into my code prior making the web service call I get the response back right away.
Problem
I am consuming a web service from a url. When I test using SoapUI, I get the response immediately (See image below) and that the request data I sent out made it through to the other end. So in my C# application I did the same thing, I consumed the web service wsdl and auto generated the proxy class. I create a request based on that proxy class with the exact same request data I used in SoapUI and sent out. I confirmed that at the other end they received my data successfully and no error is shown. However, I never receive any ID back and after a while I would get this exception: Error The HTTP request to 'http://someURLWebservice.com/WSoperation' has exceeded the allotted timeout of 00:00:59.9470000. The time allotted to this operation may have been a portion of a longer timeout. Am I missing something here? I downloaded the WSDL and generated the mock service with SoapUI and if I make a call to that mock web service locally, I would get it right away.the ID back right away. Here is my code: ``` string serverURL = Settings.Default.ExtensionServiceURL; //Get Proxy class client ext.ExtWSPortTypeClient client = new ext.ExtWSPortTypeClient(); EndpointAddress addr = new EndpointAddress(serverURL); try { client.Endpoint.Address = addr; Uri site = new Uri(serverURL); client.Endpoint.ListenUri = site; ExtensionData eData = new ExtensionData(); client.ChannelFactory.CreateChannel(); Console.WriteLine("Sending Locator Event Request to Web Service"); ext.locatorEventResponse1 resp = await client.locatorEventAsync(eData.GenerateLocatorEventRequest(ev)); } catch (Exception ex) { Console.WriteLine("Error " + ex.Message); } finally { if (client != null) { ((ICommunicationObject)client).Close(); } } ```
