I am taking a string message and breaking it up into chunks so that I can send it to an sms service (that consequently doesn't break it up for you). I after I do my work for break those messages up, I try loop through the resulting array and execute a web request. The problem is that it only works for the first message, and then hangs after that. After a short time, I get an error message saying "The connection was closed unexpectedly." This occurs at the second time it attempts GetResponse(); I've seen a few other posts on here that were simply saying to close and dispose the response and request streams. This isn't working for me at all. This is where my code is currently:
private static void Main(string[] args)
{
var oldMessage = GetFileString();
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Old message: {0}", oldMessage.Length));
var newMessage = UrlPathEncodeString(oldMessage);
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("New message: {0}", newMessage.Length));
var brokenUp = SplitByLength(newMessage, 145).ToArray();
for(var i = 0; i < brokenUp.Count(); i++)
{
brokenUp[i] = brokenUp[i].Insert(0, UrlPathEncodeString(string.Format("({0:D2} of {1:D2})", i + 1, brokenUp.Count())));
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Appended length: {0}", brokenUp[i].Length));
}
System.Net.ServicePointManager.DefaultConnectionLimit = 100;
foreach (var block in brokenUp)
{
Thread.Sleep(1500);
SendSms((HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://172.20.5.214:90/method/sendsms"), block);
}
Console.ReadKey();
}
public static void SendSms(HttpWebRequest request, string message)
{
//build the request
var url = "http://ipaddress/method/sendsms";
//var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
var fields = "CellNumber={0}&Message={1}";
fields = string.Format(fields, "16021234567", message);
var fieldsBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(fields);
request.ContentLength = fieldsBytes.Length;
var length = fieldsBytes.Length;
using (var requestStream = request.GetRequestStream())
{
requestStream.Write(fieldsBytes, 0, length);
using (var response = request.GetResponse())
{
using (var responseStream = response.GetResponseStream())
{
responseStream.Close();
}
}
requestStream.Close();
}
}
public static byte[] ReadFully(Stream stream)
{
var buffer = new byte[32768];
using (var ms = new MemoryStream())
{
while (true)
{
int read = stream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
if (read <= 0)
return ms.ToArray();
ms.Write(buffer, 0, read);
}
}
}
